Wind Power Disappears in Germany and UK

As we know, there was not much wind about last week. In particular, between Nov 1st and 7th wind supplied only 7% of power in Britain:
 

We relied heavily on imports, which averaged 18% of total supply. But winds were also light across Germany and the Low Countries. Could we rely on getting electricity from Europe when they too have shut most of their fossil fuel plants down?

During that same period, wind power in Germany dropped to dangerously low levels. On the 6th, for example, wind was supplying just 1% of Germany’s electricity, as low as 1 GW. The country has about 70 GW of wind power capacity, which means that on most days that week, wind was running at less than 1% of capacity.

Don't politicians in those countries know how to waste taxpayer money?

OMFG, what will happen to UK and Germany when there is a moonless, windless night?  Or a very cloudy day without wind?

Those poor bastids will have to watch the weather to know if they'll have electricity later in the week.
