We gotta build a lot of solar and batteries. And wind.

Let's go.

You have to invert the priorities. Lots of wind, then useful amounts of storage and backup energy (probably domestic coal in Germany) and little bit solar.

In Europe most gas consumption is in winter, when PV does not produce much. (The sun is not shining much, that's the reason why outside temperature are low...).

Also we don't build solar or batteries in any significant amount in Europe, we import them from Asia. We only install them in Europe.

		Europe will burn gas in winter for a long time, but it can stop burning gas in summer. Solar is cheaper than wind. For the energy transition, it doesn’t matter who makes the panels. I mean I agree that keeping the know how in Europe is important. But it’s not like they suddenly stop working (unless they get hacked, I guess.)
