Great. Now is the perfect time to start having this conversation. Nuclear power is key to European energy independence.
I am pro nuclear too, but guys where do we burry the trash?
Yeah, Estonian power sector is the opposite of green, they’d benefit from cheaper abundant nuclear power. No big rivers for dams like we have. District heating with falling heat consumption densities, requiring burning gas, shale and peat… It’s not easy to meet green quotas in a situation like that.
Feels like this topic is brought over like once a week. I am curious how long Germany is gonna be silent about this. At least the pro and anti nuclear folks are not silent on reddit, but I always love to hear the arguments “we already decided,end of story”.
Good.
Please convert Silja Europa to nuclear power for super-fast service to Helsinki 🙏🙏
Going nuclear is great, but my main issue is with human corruption. Placing nuclear power plants in an environment it is a huge long term commitment and responsibility.
Who can completely guarantee that the construction of nuclear power plants isn’t done in some half ass manner? Do hope the EU enhances safety regulation as well.
Please, Dutch government, also join. Please subsidise the cleanest option we have.
When will people learn that nuclear energy might be cheap of money, but wayyy to expensive in terms of potential risk of health issues, death and environmental desaster? Do we really need another Chernobyl oder Fukushima? Please not.
After seeig so much of the pro-nuclear propaganda in the recent month, no one ever mentioned that all our current hopes are so much dependent on this, the EPR.
We were promised flawless technology, but it exhibits delays, quality issues, adn even fuel rod damages, not late in the life, but even in the beginning. And that is the problem here. Complain that the wind power doesn’t work sometimes in the UK, while all your hopes depend on something that needs to be shut down completely for a long, long time…
Based Estonia if true
Praise the atom !
We should really use economies of scale to bring down cost of construction somewhat. Using the same design, in the same program, instead of all the different countries using their own arrangements. We have enough pro-nuclear countries in the EU to make it happen, and I assume the French would be eager to export their technology.

Nice.
Energy crisis promo ?
One of us, one of us!

Sweden will also join the nuclear alliance, as this position was [voted in favour yesterday](https://www.di.se/nyheter/oppositionen-tvingar-regeringen-att-stodja-karnkraft-pa-eu-toppmote/) in the Swedish parliament.
