Remember Berlin has a latitude of 52.5°. That puts it far north of the 49th parallel border.
True, but climate in Central Europe is different to the US-Canada border.
Yeah, you get even more clouds.
They used to have nuclear too
Yeah, what’s up with that? Nuclear works well for France, so why did it fall out of favor in Germany?
It’s not perfect, but it does a fantastic job at providing a base load alternative to batteries, which could significantly reduce rollout costs if they had existing plants. It’s probably not worth switching now, unless they have some dormant plants that could be fired up quickly (like we’re doing in the US).

Step 1 shut down nuclear, and switch to gas
Step 2 get hired by gazprom
Sorry but the German people and not Schroder were the ones who chose anti-nuclear. And the reliance on Russian gas may have backfired, but at the time it enabled perhaps the most efficient economy Europe had ever known.
Germany has the EU’s highest energy prices. Just saying.
“This single thing is more expensive in this country” is a stupid way to compare prices from countries.
