    This is really nice but Germany can’t sustain itself with just solar during most of the year without storage capacity.

        Yes I know. My point is just that we need to diversify. And most of Germany is still heated up during winter with oil, coal and gas, so no amount of electricity generation will change that until we upgrade heating systems.

        We need a thousand solutions to fight climate change, so I always try to remind people that there’s no silver bullet. Solar, wind, nuclear, none of them will save the day by itself.
