When will be electric power from natural gas twice as expensive as solar

Solar electric power is cheaper than Diesel, but look on the streets, what is driving there? It can be only called a complete failure of politics and economy.

  Who believed 1988 in fuel oil for 1.-EUR/litre


20 years ago was the deep believe of the average builder of a house, fuel oil is eternal and cheap. He constructed his house in this belive, this is his current disaster. 1.-EUR for a litre fuel oil? Heresy!

  2 kWh solar electric powrer instead of 1,67 kWh natural gas


A CCPP can produce with 60% efficiency from 1,67 kWh natural gas 1 kWh electric power. Solar electric power becomes cheaper, natural gas more expensive. First is solar electric power direct used. The next step is the day/night storage of solar electric power in lithium batteries. When there is still to much solar electric power, it's possible to make hydrogen out of it and to store the hydrogen in huge underground storages to balance the less solar power in the winter.

0,87 for large scale electrolysis * 0,95 for storage * 0,6 gives 50%

  Dynamic electric power price


Always the same electric power price will not be possible. Solar electric power in the summer at a sunny day could be down to 8 Cent. A CCPP has to purchase 2 kWh to produce in winter 1 kWh. When natural gas is at 10 Cent per kWh, natural gas is in this case more expensive than hydrogen from excessive solar electric power.

At the German EEG energy delivery law will be solar electric power in 2020 only 0,1541 EUR. When natural gas is at 20 Cent per kWh, natural gas is in this case more expensive than hydrogen from excessive solar electric power.

  Political responsibility or total failure


When natural gas is more expensive than hydrogen by excessive solar power, will we have the same stupid situation as today, or will we be able to have politicians with responsibility?



  2008 The bungle of politics by inaction


The oil price increased January in a very short time to $100. The inaction of the politicians is saddening, because it's goes about our standard of living.

Fossil energy means recession
The decrease of the oil price in the last days proofs: fossil energy means recession. A growth of the world economy is only with renewable energy possible.


Civilization and the ability to store
The ability to store valuable products to balance times of overabundance and times of under-supply is a basic of civilization.


Banking crisis
The production facilities are all intact, only the finance system is groggy. This is a big chance for the politic to do with the production something reasonable.


Oil production becomes a roulette game
The extrem fast declining oil price damages the oil industry much more, than $180 oil price. Investments in costly explorations became extrem risky.


Stock market crisis
There are political streams believing that the stock market will solve all problems of mankind. But how can a stable full of disturbed chickens cause something positive?


Oil price and economic growth
Do we want recession? The dedicing question is not how high the oil price is in a recession, but at 2% economic growth.


2008 The begin of the end of the oil age
Many indicators show a clear result: In the history books will be the year 2008 chained to the begin of the end of the oil age.





Ostrich policy
The oil price jumps in a few month from $70 to $100, the Energy Watch Group dates peak oil to 2006 and our irresponsible politicians put the head in the sand.


CO2 tax determination
2 complete different ideas for the determination of a CO2 tax, replacement of social security costs and the costs to for the removal of CO2 in the atmosphere have the same range.


Dreadful doing nothing
The IEA shows in a complete sharp turn of previous prognoses a catastrophe szenario, the oil price is already beyond §122 and the politicians play clerk Mikado.


G8 want to reduce CO2 emission by 50% until 2050
In Kobe, the environment ministers of the G8 agreed to lower the carbon dioxide emissions until 2050 to the half. A very unrealistic target.


The quarrel about the imperator's beard
France and Germany support the target of the EU commission to reduce the emission of Carbon Dioxide until 2012 to 120 g CO2/km at cars.


Subventions against increasing oil price
Subventions to decrease the demand for crude oil can be highly profitable for the industrial countries by damping the increase of the oil price.


High oil price pays the exit from crude oil
When 1 million barrel a day less demand reduces the oil price by $20, this can be used as the base for a rentability caclulation for the exit from oil.


Oil conference: oil price reaches $140
What would You think, when a junkie promisses his mother to get away from the oildope and 5 minutes later, he whines pitifully at a dealer?


ECB prime rate increase counter productively
The inflation is caused nearly only by the high oil price. The escape from oil needs investitions in new technology, aggravated by the higher prime rate.
