The first daily reading above 420 ppm this year has appeared at the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory.

3. German carbon intensity falls to 320 g CO2/kwh. Wind at 28.8 GW, coal at "only" 20.1 GW.

Electricity Map 7:29P EST US 01/28/22, 1:29 am Berlin, Germany 01/29/22.

German wind capacity utilization is now at 45.28% after a week of Dunkelflaute and carbon intensities in the high 400s of grams CO2/kwh to low 500s of g CO2/kwh.

At 320 g CO2/kwh, in percent talk, Germany is only 320% worse than France. As of this writing, heavily nuclearized France is at 100 g CO2/kwh.

Congrats to Germany on having the wind blow again. I don't want to only say what's going on when the wind doesn't blow in Germany, but also what's going on when it does blow.

They're still burning coal though, the results of which will remain with humanity, well, forever.
