A photo of the Isar 2 nuclear station operating, accompanied by the information that, during most of its 105 days of operation in 2023, it generated more power than all the 30 000 wind machines in Germany put together ― despite being limited in "stretch-out" operation to 70% output!

   60¢ per kWh residential electricity price doesn't strike me as living very well, for all that it fulfills the "ein Kugel Eis" promise (at the eiscafe around the corner a scoop of gelato is €1.80, and 3 kWh a day could be enough if you're not using the oven). And Germany has gone from a net exporter of electricity to a net importer, after creating market mechanisms which assure it will sell cheap and buy dear.

   A coal exit was never intended.
