Doctor:”I can do chemotherapy.”
“No, no, I don’t want chemotherapy, look at all the side effects!”
…..
“Ouch, cancer really sucks.”
Doctor: “sorry, too late for chemo now”
“See, I was righ to refuse it all this time, it’s too late anyway.”
I’ve never seen a government so zealous about not solving an impending crisis.
The alternative is to freeze.
Germany will soon lose their main gas supplies to sabotage.
*Vladimir Putin liked this*
Silly decision
Very good, gender quotas and hipster management go brrr..
Germans are regarded for being efficient workers but damn do they shoot themselves in the foot all the fucking time
Bruh wtf is Germany doing
It’s like the Germans are incapable of changing their mind.
They’ve been planning this exit for the past 11/22 years, it’s no surprise that they don’t suddenly want to hire new personnel, order new fuel, get maintenance and safety to a proper post-Fukushima level done and remain in the very unstable german nuclear business subject to the government changing its mind every other year, all this to lose in public image and improve the carbon content of the german grid.
From a business point of view, it’s just not worth it, even if nuclear electricity has never been so economically attractive.
Reddit users on their way to tell everyone how they would run the country (they are experts)
Itt:
People who think that 20 year old, long term energy policy can be simply reversed in weeks.
Let alone achieve much.
The nuclear exit is a technical, economical, poltical and social fait accompli
Germany is turning off and dismanteling nuclear power plants for two decades now. The last three remaining ones went online in the 80s, and contribute little to energy production. Now everyone freaks out about it, but the industry is long gone, Universities don’t teach nuclear technology and so on.
It is good to know that there are nuclear energy experts in Germany who have shown that Germany has 8.5 GW of nuclear capacity that can run until 2028 with just an approval from Berlin and which would displace significant amounts of natural gas imports.
But German anti-nuclear pro-Putin parties don’t want to hear this inconvenient truth.
Kernd.de for those who want the German expert opinions.
Russian moles at work.
Idk how it matters. They do not have to be sourced from Russia. And they are still but a drop when it comes to logistics and price of fuel per generated unit of energy.
Don’t know why r/europe is loving nuclear so much.
France has its energy problems despite relying largely on nuclear energy.
Core points:
* Citizens is encouraged to save electricity due to cold weather to stabilize the grid
* Almost half of Frances nuclear plants are not ready to operate
* Last Sunday France had to import electricity from its neighbours equaling 7 nuclear plants. On Sunday Germany exported 1/3 of its hard coal produced electricity to France. This could mislead statistics because Germany has emitted lots of CO2 but France seems green because it has just imported the dirty energy
* Frances nuclear plants get older and older, old plants are shut down, new plants are not build in time (example Flamanville is 10 years late). It had to subsidize the EDF with 2,1 billion €.
> While Isar 2 could “technically” be kept operational beyond this year, “the judgment which was really done is we have a gas emergency situation and the little relief we might be getting on the electricity side is just not really a game changer”, he said.
I mean, that’s the core point of the whole article and why this talk about nuclear doesn’t really make sense. Germany has an energy crisis, but energy isn’t the same as electricity. There is no shortage of electricity, but a shortage of gas and you can’t just replace gas with electricity. For some processes it’s possible, but takes time and money to swap, for others it’s impossible.
Yet this is like the 100th time the issue gets brought up in the last weeks, with comments arguing if nuclear is good / bad.
