Even with Subsidies and everything taken out, Wind and solar Power are now cheaper in Germany than other forms of energy.

There is also demand side management, where you power a system on and of based on the availablity of energy. Cooling Houses are an example of that.

Solar and wind energy are perfectly predictable: www.energymeteo.com

There are fluktuations every day due to the differend demand and loads in any case. Thats why you link many sources together in a Virtual Power Plant. Works quite well. The biggest Virtual Power Plant in Germany is the one of Statkraft (a Norwegian Company); it has about 8GW capacity.

or just the wind blown in another direction, so that the fallout happend over the Japanese homeland and not the sea.

No it is not. Reasonable accessible wind, solar, tidal an geothermal power is many times the global requirements.

Yeah, well they don't get massive government subsidies.

Being forced to have a technology that destroys your neighbourhood for nearly eternity if it blows in your backyard is a social problem.

Solar, Wind and Demand side management work in tandem, really.

Anything that is that heavily subsidized with tax money is cheaper than Solar and Wind. We see sinking Energy prices since the Energiewende at the european energy exchange and other trade platforms. The difference just does not reach the consumers.

Nonsense. The prices at the energy exchanges for energy have been fallen while the prices for consumers have risen. The divident goes to the companies and the Energiewende is blamed as the reason for the higher prices. It is a shame, really.

Btw the billions poured into nuclear energy as direct and indirect subsidizes could have been and could be spend better.
