And 2022 most of the power generating nuclear power plants where offline in France, leading Germany to ramp up the generation even more to supply France.
This is what 16 years of standing on the brakes does to you. You become dependent on foreign gas, all the while shutting down nuclear power to then, now as opposition blame the new government of being bad for the environment.
Surprise, surprise … It’s an atomic-energy PR-campaign.
Renewables are useless if there’s no wind and sun, quite often it seems.
But hey, gas is cheap and easy to supply !
Insane that France produced more energy with a smaller population. And much greener energy at that aswell. I’m less and less impressed by the German economy by what I’m seeing every day. It seems just based on growing your economy as cheap as possible wihtout considering the morality and ethics of your actions.
I just wanna point out that in this, nuclear power isn’t counted as “dirty”…
If you count only CO2 as dirty. If you’d only count radioactive waste as dirty, it would be the other way round.
As always: Do not trust any statistics that you have not forged yourself.
So what’s their solution for the nuclear waste then?
Oh, a final storage is supposed to open in 2035? No solution for the next 10.000 years of radiation? Oh, OK.
I’m just saying, just looking at this chart is way to reductionist and actually just a PR campaign
There is also Poland in this graph but its too cropped.

Same data from 1990 to 2020

2022 will look quite different, though.
Total waste would be better comparison.
