I’m guessing the slide in the left was meant to say 2027 not 2021. Seems Germany will be rebooting its nuclear power stations. The whilst new renewables push seems likely I still think its more likely that European countries are going to look more to fracking. The UK gov has already announced a new review on it and I bet the Cambo oil field comes up again. Protests groups in the UK have already started to make noise on this subject about how the focus should be on moving away from oil&gas but personally I can’t see it happening. Also in the US I expect it will draw attention back the Keystone XL and the Alaska oilfield that Biden had binned. |
The slide on the left is electricity generation. Oil is barely used here and gas isn't as dominant either.
The slide on the left is energy generation which also includes heating and petrol, so oil is much more dominant here.
Also Germany rebooting nuclear power stations is extremely unlikely. The current operators want to shut the remaining ones down at the end of 2022 as the law demands it. Even if that law was changed it apparently takes at least 1 1/2 years to acquire new fuel rods if ordered right now. And where did we get the Uranium from in the past? A big chunk of that came from Russia.
