Germany has too many irons in the fire
Having made the decision to cease importing Russian gas Germany has chosen a course on the development of renewable energy sources. But in doing that it became dependent on another country.
Solar and wind energy in Germany are poorly developed. The best option is to work on the production of gas. The greatest potential in this regard is in Bavaria.
As for nuclear energy, Germany intends to wipe out its usage as early as 2022. Currently, nuclear power plants produce 60% of the total amount of energy.
Some people believe that gas relations between Russia and Germany are a kind of dependency. However, the experts believe that this way of thinking is fundamentally wrong. After all, the welfare of the Russian gas business on the contrary depends on potential buyers. The only obvious opponent in establishing of the Russian-German partnership is United States because it pushes the US into the background.
Germany is doing everything possible towards producing the country's power in an environmentally safe direction. Gas power plants are powered by solar batteries with the capacity of 50%. At the moment, some projects are implemented in order to improve this indicator.
Small heating plants are being built to provide few houses with energy. The surplus of energy that is consumed by houses is transmitted to the overall distribution network and is sold. The money obtained can be spent on the purchase of gas.
But it is well-known that for the construction of solar plants special rare metals are required. The dominant market share of rare metals is controlled by China. With the transition to wind and solar power China has reduced the sale of such metals.
Ironically, Germany again has to develop a different direction in alternative energy.
