RE: GERMANY SUBSTITUTES WIND FOR NUCLEAR POWER

["Franta, Jaroslav" <frantaj@AECL.CA>]

And another thing...  a colleague just pointed out that Germany's nuclear

reactors produced (Nucleonics Week Feb 8 2001) a gross of 169,657,300 MWhe

in 2000 (169.66 TWhe).  If you assume an 8% internal consumption of the

electricity (a conservatively high number) for pumps and such, the net

production was 156.1 TWhe.  So the 75 to 80 TWhe is actually at most 48 to

51% of Germany's 2001 nuclear production, not "nearly 60%" as claimed by

Trittin.

Quite a tangle of lies, huh ?

Oh great!  Somebody must have figured out that if you put the wind plants

offshore, all the dead birds will wash away as fish food instead of piling

up underneath them as a big PR problem.  The mind reels.  Isn't there some

international treaty protecting migratory birds?  All in the name of

environmental green-mess.  [sic]
