High-voltage grid or no high-voltage grid

The diagrams for Aalborg Denmark, Salzburg Austria, Cairo Egypt and Kampala Uganda show at a glance where the answer is yes or no.

The high-voltage grid is used to transport electricity over long distances. There are two reasons for this:

Geographical features for wind and water
Very efficient central large-scale technology

There is more wind in the North Sea than in Bavaria. Austria has about as much electricity from hydropower as the much larger Germany. In the past, the centralized large-scale technology counted on the rail connection to bring two freight trains full of coal to the coal-fired power plant every day.

Stupidest advertisement of 1978

On November 5, 1978, a referendum was held in Austria on the commissioning of the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant. 1,606,308 people, or 50.47 percent of the votes cast, voted against commissioning (1,576,839 people voted in favor of commissioning). At the time, the pro-nuclear power plant party ran the advertising campaign "Without Zwentendorf, the lights go out". I felt so provoked by this that I voted against Zwentendorf. "Our demand for electricity is increasing, without Zwentendorf we would have to burn this freight train full of coal every day" and then show a video of wagon after wagon full of coal, showing everything in the coal except carbon, that would have given Zwentendorf a 2/3 majority.

Efficiency records in thermal power generation

Siemens announces a combined cycle power plant with 64.18% LHV value efficiency. Methane has 13.9 kWh LHV value per kg, but 15.4 kWh HHV value. This leaves 57.9% efficiency of the HHV value. A 200 kW methanol generator, on the other hand, only achieves 36% without using the hot exhaust gases. With simple utilization, this can be increased to 42%. A somewhat more complex 46% is possible.

Setting up a purely solar power supply

This is always a mixture of highly efficient batteries and cheap long-term storage via Power to X and reconversion. Centralized large-scale technology offers a higher level of efficiency for Power to X and reconversion, but the high-voltage grid has to be paid for. Here are 4 typical situations calculated with 50% power to methanol and 46% for the generator. 8 different battery configurations were calculated with 10 differently dimensioned power-to-methanol systems.

From a modest harvest of 860 kWh/kW peak, only 381 kWh 365/24 electricity remains. Here it is clear: use centralized large-scale technology, use other forms of energy such as wind, high-voltage grid necessary and economical.

One is the gross yield, the other is what is left over in net 365/24 electricity. From Aalborg, Denmark, to Salzburg, Austria, there is 23% more 365/24 electricity.

Sunny, sunny and sunny again, why a new high-voltage grid anywhere when decentralized generation delivers such results? It's like buying locally for €5 or by mail order for €4 plus €4 shipping costs.

In Cairo, Egypt, the inclination of the earth's axis is almost the only reason for long-term storage. In Kampale, Uganda, on the other hand, it is different cloud cover. There is significantly less gross yield, but this is partly compensated for by a better gross/net ratio. Compared to Salzburg, 55% more gross yield, but 131% more 365/24 net yield. There are significantly more batteries installed in the configuration and less power to.

Production and transportation costs

You can live and drive anywhere, but where to put energy-intensive industry? For the customer, it is always a mixture of energy and transportation costs. For example, a cement plant 50 km away can supply a customer in Germany more cheaply than a cement plant 5,000 km away in a very sunny region. There is a village near the equator along an important runway with no power supply. Electricity can be generated so cheaply on a decentralized basis that a high-voltage line makes no sense at all and is an extreme waste of money.

Still no statement from Porsche

How do you permanently ruin your reputation? For a few days now, it has been impossible to start a Porsche built in 2013 or later in Russia. Where is a statement from Porsche on this? I couldn't find one in Google. I found no indication that Porsche is investigating the incident and helping the customers affected. Is it state-ordered sabotage or just a chain of unfavorable events? Porsche's silence is deafening. After the incident, who will dare to buy a Porsche in a country whose government could fall out of favor with the German government? US government vs. German government, could it happen that suddenly all Porsches in the USA come to a standstill? Let's think of a scenario where the US government blocks all US technology including SWIFT for Antifa supporters. What could be a counterattack? Why take such a risk? Without full disclosure and help for those affected, Porsche is a dead brand in all those countries that the German government doesn't like or might not like in the coming decades.

The planetary restoration mentality

Planetary cleanup back to 350 ppm CO2 means around 47,000 TWh of electricity to filter 1 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into carbon and oxygen. Who can afford that? Only a rich human race, 10 billion people in prosperity can do it. One million km² of energy-optimized settlement areas alone should contribute 150,000 TWh for the necessary electricity for world-wide prosperity and planetary restoration.

GEMINI next Generation AG will prove the contrary

It's not about whether the shares will be worth 100 times or 1000 times more in 20 years' time or whether they will only be worth a few cents. It's about the future of us all. Will there be a big showdown between eco-fascism and yesterday's fossils, or will it be possible to overcome the deep divisions in society and inspire supporters of both sides to work towards a great new goal? Global prosperity and planetary restoration instead of saving, restricting, renouncing and climate catastrophe or peak oil and a little more climate catastrophe. Both sides must be convinced that they have no solution that is even remotely viable. On the one hand, it must be shown that net-zero emissions are a completely inadequate target and that the goal must instead be a planetary clean-up back to 350 ppm CO2. The other side must be shown that solar power enables a higher standard of living than fossil energy. It's about survival! The social situation in 2025 compared to 2005, extrapolated to 2045, makes for a horror world! If we are successful and your shares are worth 100 times more, this is just an addition to all the other achievements. One new shareholder said "Me with my very modest investment", but €400 times €1,000 is also €400,000 for all investments up to the creation of the prototype. There is a reward program for recommending the share to others. Two of the new shareholders have become shareholders through this reward program. Here are the details.

GEMINI shares: time to buy - milestones

The situation has changed fundamentally since this company visited Slovakia. Necessary investment volume reduced by around 90%. Time to marketable product shortened by around one year. The 90% reduction in investment volume also means that each shareholder has significantly more shares. The share price is now lifted towards our targets at each milestone. These milestones can happen in all areas: Financial, new shareholders, new opportunities to attract new shareholders. Contracts to build the prototype, more houses and settlements. Cooperations for realization. Purchase, arrival and testing of important technical components.
