Powerprice in Germany today minus 500€/MWh. Nuclear power is economic madness in an environment where we see negative electricity prices practically every day.

While the spot market price for electricity in Germany gets negative from time to time, it's far away from doing so every day.

What happens when there is wide bad weather for renewables? ( for a range of days from 1 - several) Where would the power needed come from?

If, it was to be from some kind of storage, Extra capacity would be needed to allow recharging of the storage

If Germany power prices are so low, why are Germans power bills so high ? Maybe you are cherry picking spot/marginal price and not netting the subsides ?
