Germany has opened its first electrified highway for trucks near Frankfurt as part of the country's plans to reduce...

You come up with Trans-Siberian railroad and NOBODY will praise it.

just line the highways with solar panels and climate change is cancelled

Germany burns fucking lignite which is the least efficient and caused the most emissions. Very few places can actually use solar and it be good. In Europe that’s mostly drier places like Spain. Most the US has good land either for wind or solar.

>to reduce carbon and nitrogen oxides emissions

the left brain think nuclear power is bad
the only problem is nuclear waste, but you only have to make a deep hole to keep it.

Germany is also the European country that has managed to replace the biggest share of their energy production to sustainables. They also very aggressively close down energy plants and pretty much all their coal plants are scaling down, on standby or have to close down way before their original date. My plant is going to close 7 years after being opened

Couldn't Europeans just build a bunch of solar arrays in North Africa and export the energy back to the continent? They could offload the work to those Africans countries and give them some of the residual energy idk

These plans have been talked about since forever. It's called the European Super Grid.

Why not build hydrogen fuel-cell ecosystem like Japan and not have to build all that retarded overhead electricity shit (that can become dangerous in natural disasters)?

Fuel cel tech and capacity isn't there yet. Most hydrogen fuel plants are only being designed and approved right now. By 2030 they want them to be viable energy sources available to everyone. It takes time to build infrastructure

>Fuel cel tech and capacity isn't there yet
You mean German companies are far behind Japan in this area, and Germany refuses to import critical power infrastructure from Japan, but is okay is being Russia's bitch with the pipelines.

Nordstream makes complete fucking sense. Gas is cheap as fuck and all the infrastructure to use and transport it is there. Japan also doesn't have shit. Technologically they're years behind and cover it up by talking about their robots

what if someone cut those lines

It's only a matter of time before some idiotic pole with a special cargo that exceeds the height of those lines decide to cross them

You can literally buy fuel cell cars in Japan for about the same price as electric cars, you don't have to drive far to get to a fuel cell station with existing gas stations adding fuel cell pumps, and city bus fleets are being converted to fuel cell.

Japan has a higher co2 emission per capita than Germany. Much like those power lines in the OP are fueled by coal, so are those fuel cells.

trolleylorry lol

Didn't Germany succesfully reduce European carbon dioxide and methane emissions 75 years ago?
Isn't this news old by now?

>nooooooo you can't make innovations since it's a work in progress and not an instantly perfect system noooooooo

My city had hydrogen busses in the 90s already. There's nothing innovative about it. You just need shitloads of electricity of which you waste 50% to turn water into hydrogen which requires very intensive storage and transportation measures.

Use trains

G*rms are garbage at producing electricity.
