Danish Consumption of Dangerous Natural Gas Set New Record in 2006.

[NNadir]

Of course, all kinds of dunderheads are going to go into fundie type denial, but the source is the Danish Energy Agency.

At 9.9 bn. Nm3 in 2006, Danish production of natural gas. was almost the same as for 2005. Exports of natural gas fell by 6.1 per cent because of less exports to Germany. Domestic natural-gas consumption rose by 2.2 per cent in 2006 to 4.8 bn. Nm3. This increase was caused by higher consumption by Danish power plants.

We always hear lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of "Denmark is heaven!" talk here from people who can't tell their hemorrhoids from real numbers, who insist that the wind always blows in Denmark. But in July of 2006, wind production in Denmark fell to 194 GWh, or in "percent talk" just 6.9% of Danish electrical production. This barely matched the reserve requirements of Denmark, which in that month was 154 GWh.

Interestingly enough, in January of 2007, just 6 months later, wind produced a record amount of electricity, 1226 GWh of electricity, or 28.8% of Danish electrical consumption in that month.

In September of this year, Danish wind production fell to 377 GWh. The lowest production of wind power in 2008 was in May of 2008, when production was 234 GWh.

At no point in history, has Danish wind production ever matched the production from thermal power plants, all of which are fueled by dangerous fossil fuels, which averaged, in the period between January 2001 and October of 2008, a period of 106 months, 2,645 GWh per month.

There are no restrictions in Denmark for dumping dangerous fossil fuel waste into the atmosphere.

Denmark - many people don't know this - is like Norway, an exporter of dangerous fossil fuels. Natural gas production in the Danish off sea gas fields is expected to peak in 2010, after which its fields will enter a period of decline. This may reduce the agitation of Danish fossil fuel apologists to vandalize another Baresback reactor in Sweden.

The shortfall in Danish gas shipments to Germany will be met by Russia, which purchased the contract of the Chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schroeder, for 300,000 Euros per year. Gazprom retains options to buy the contracts of other members of the German gov't from Denmark for players to be named later.

1. nice little rant

start with broad brush insults then devolve into incoherent mush

[NNadir]

4. In general, all of my critics have a hard time with numbers.

You're hardly alone.

There are ZERO fundie anti-nukes who can grasp them.

Presented with numbers, this set always claims that they are incoherent.

Bascially innumeracy is a fundemental characteristic of the "renewables will save us" cults.

7. Honey catches more flies

I'm an advocate of expanded usage of nuclear power, I don't see anyway to break away from fossil fuels without it at least as a component if not the primary solution.

But really, derision you throw at anyone who so much as suggests limited adoption of renewables is enough to put off almost anyone. Stop. Please. You're hurting your own cause.

5. That. was. too. funny.

2. That crap is deadly, not only will it cause explosions

but I've even heard that breathing it can kill you. Not only that but it's also insidious, it's invisible and orderless which is why they have to add the "stink" to it. And then there is the phony marketing ploy, Oh! it's "natural" gas, it's from "nature". Well so is coal and uranium.

6. Your critics will have a hard time with these hard numbers

:evilgrin:

8. And therefore only nuclear power will save us

Yawn.
