As EU is asked to mobilize all available energy, anger at Germany grows. Germany stays committed to shutting off its last nuclear reactors, causing mounting frustration among its neighbours

  1. They are still shutting down are they retarded? Cant wait for gas power plants to produce what is lost oh wait

  2. wtf is wrong with these people. Other people are going to be in need of energy. Why are they depriving the grid so as only to guzzle more gas.

  3. Coal burning, fracking, solar and windmill [waste dumping in Africa](https://odysee.com/@MissionAccomplished:9/y2mate.com—The-price-of-green-energy-by-DW-Documentary_720p:c), burning forests for biomass.

    But no nuclear! Thankfully we’re still owning the Cons.

    Reactionary boomer mentality still going strong at the highest level of german policymaking.

    > “If Germany does not take any responsibility for its energy security, I will propose to our government that we cut the Baltic cable,” commented Take Anstoot from the Swedish Greens.

    Even the Swedish Greens are tired of these clowns.

  4. Inertia. You can’t switch the last few decades of political beliefs within half a year… apparently… despite others did…

  5. The govt nuclear plan makes absolutely no sense, but how can these countries have the gall to point fingers when we are currently exporting both electricity and gas to support others and will continue to export electricity in the winter.

    This and the communication fiasco around insolvency are for sure enormous failures by Habeck, but if Germany remains a electricity exporter, I fail to see what how it’s the other other countries prerogative to dictate policy here.

  6. France has half of its reactors shut down for more than half a year which equals about 13 reactor years of production lost alone in 2022. But Germany is here the big problem because they gave up on a failing industry?

  7. We‘re keeping them on reserve, so shut up. You‘re dealing with future generations, we‘re taking responsibility now. I‘d be happy to (maybe maybe maybe) freeze a bit instead of making life hell even more for everyone to come. Listen to science – now or never.

  8. No political will and a lot of technical challenges (Refueling, Staff, Safety and others).
    The third exit reversal in two decades (SPD/Greens exit, CDU/FDP reversal, CDU/SPD exit after Fukushima) will be throwing billions away again.
    Despite the pro-nuclear lobby polls published, exit still has a majority even now, only short-term extension until Spring 2023 seems to gain positive approval.

  11. > On Monday, Berlin decided to mothball two of its nuclear reactors for months despite a host of experts insisting they continue running, while the third will be shut down completely, to be replaced by floating oil-fired power plants.

    >For the government, this concluded a long-held ambition. **For the Greens, it was a win to show their party base that they were standing up for their core beliefs despite reactivating coal power plants and super-fast-tracking fossil fuel import infrastructure.**

    So the Green Party in Germany is against clean energy and is pro coal? That’s certainly an interesting position for a so called “Green Party” to take. Never thought environmental activists would consider firing up coal plants a victory
