An interesting implication of building so many reactors is that they will no

German still have some nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plant can not be
started and shut down at will. Nuclear power plants continuously deliver
roughly the same amount of energy. The countries around Germany have also a
lot of power plants especially in France and in Belgium. Those power plant
I do admire the Germans in regard to their programs to offer jobs with reduced
hours but with most benefits retained. Futurewise, this is the way to go and is
a big improvement over simple unemployment or welfare.
Another country to admire ( to a degree) is Iran. 4 Bankers are scheduled for

In this graph, notice how the use of PV solar reduces peak demand,
smoothing off baseline generation, whereas wind lowers the baseline for 24
hours a day. PV solar is worth more because electric power sells at a
premium during peak demand.
