Will the shutdown of 7 nuclear reactors in Germany affect production of vehicles?
Not sure where to post this, but was wondering if the shutdown of 7 nuclear reactors in Germany will affect production of vehicles. That's 1/3 of Germany's reactors for 3 months at least. If it will then production won't resume to normal until mid June which would be bad news for 1M buyers since it's hard enough to get already. What do you guys think?

Of course there won't be any influences. Power is traded within the EU, if there will be any deficit it will be transferred from another country.

That probably just means they will need to run the other coal/oil power plants at a higher level or buy more (nuclear) electricity from the French. Either way they will probably avoid 'brown outs' and either the cost of the electricity goes up (more cost for BMW) or more likely BMW pays the electricity the same price and the difference in cost of producing it is absorbed by the electricity company (or the government)

Shouldn't be an issue, the ones being shut down are (I believe) older ones that will not meet upcoming reg and safety requirement. You can always step up production in the other plants, as well as alternate forms of energy generation.
BTW, my friend got a note from his dealer his GT-R is about to be delayed, by an amount of time still undertermined. I don't think BMW is using many parts from Japan, so I don't anticipate any delays on their end.

This will NOT impact BMW at all. Besides the shut down of the seven nuke power plants is only for three months - time. Then we see what happens.
The Greens are just using this to gain more political power. The are on a roll recently. A few weeks ago they caused the German Defense ministery Guttenberg to resign his office over the scandal that he fakes his Phd thesiss papers. He copied some 85% from other writters. Now the Greens are pushing for this: AtomKraftWerk (AKW) nein Danke movement. Merkel had to throw them a smal bone for now. Besides in 90 days we shall see what happens. They say in Czech they have many more problems or incedents with their reactor network - than the Germans do. The Greens have also been pushing for the removal of the new E10 10% ethanol fuel from the German market. The Greens say it would be better to have a 120 kph national speed limit. But most Germans are HIGHLY against that! Buy nine out of ten Germans are not buying this new gas either. lol So... like others have said... the Germans will just shut down some powerplants... pay the Russians & French more for electricity. Fire up more coal power plants in Western Germany. Then make it up when those(nuke) countries need their old depleted uranium burried in some of the old German salt mines in the North. It is a vicious power circle! lol Dackel |
