  • depends on region. my region has enough water. still, most people try to not waste it. water has to be treated before it goes back into nature and people understand it helps to minimize this process.

    but it’s more about the routine anyway. you get used to the movements you make in the shower, so the brain starts to trail off. doesn’t mean you just stop moving and think. that usually only happens when you’re traumatized or so.








  • first of all solar produces power even on cloudy days, just less.

    it’s rarely cloudy in a whole country the size of Germany, but if it is, it’s usyally also good conditions for wind power.

    in any case, Germany has some ermergency plans. the LNG terminals they quickly started building while having russia problems were planned so they can be switched to green hydrogen imports in the future.

    also it’s normal to trade energy with European neighbours. everyone is trying not to be a burden for their neighbours though. btw this was of great help when Frances rivers ran dry during the last hot summer and Frances nuclear reactors couldn’t operate due to lack of cooling water.

    Germany isn’t done switching to 100% renewable yet. Lots of homes are still connected to city wide gas networks (for stoves and heating, but it’s on track and things are looking good.

    German citizens energy bills are required to have diagrams about the energy mix used to provide them with electricity and coal and gas grow smaller every year.
