Bubble Olaf finally - in the last possible week considering the legal framework changes and parliamentary approval required - did something that he hates to do. He made a decision on the njuclear powerplants. ALL THREE now should be runnign in full through the winter.

The Greens must be pissed. Durign past three days of their party summit they just ah decided they would stick to never let that happen and only two powerplants in "reserve" (by technical implicaitons not possible like they wanted it to do) until April, the third one switched off already in Decembre.

The Green slammed heads with the FDP whioch wanted all three to run on until 2024 at full power. Thsi they did not get, the three plants shoud be switche doff next April.

New conflict ahead thenm, becasue next winter 2023/24 could beocme even more ciritcla for Germany than this oen, becase we likely leave the winter season with empotier gas reserves than we had this spring.

All this is just a tinkering with immediately urgent symptoms. The problem of long time energy supply security is not being adressed by this, Bubble Olaf wants at no cost give the impression that nuclear power is an option again in Germany. He has ruled out to buy new nuclear fuel.



There is no realistic longterm strategy insight. Once again not.


Which is needed for running the three suriovivors at full power, because what trhey till have ha snot been renewed in time, becasue one wanted thme to switch off. They can only be run in limited intensity. That is what Bubble Olaf now calls full power". So even this deicison would nto have been an original Scholzian deicison if he would not have already put a weasel into it again.

Meanwhile, the Association of German Heating Engineers has announced that it is absolutely impossible to realize the German plans for the energy transition and Habeck's so-called "heat pump offensive": far too expensive, many homeowners cannot afford the cost, far too many homes are not suitable for it at all, and the association calculates that it will never have the necessary staff to even begin to meet the schedules. There are also delivery problems and broken logistics chains, as well as dependence on China and materials from China.

But this does not bother the Greens, it is completely ignored.

There is now a certain possibility, not yet excessive but undeniable, that the coalition will burst.
