I understand that these reactors are getting old, and need to be decommissioned. But this is already known for a long, long time. It is already YEARS ago that we might needed to start cycling energy shutdowns on the grid during winter (was it 2018, 2019?), so the problems are known. Why has nothing been done to replace their energy?
Logic doesn’t apply to Belgian politicians. They love money and votes, and will use all means to acquire them.
Getting rid of nuclear now is stupid. We don’t have anything clean and powerful enough yet in term of energy to do that.
How much is NV-A paying for these memes?
Shut down nuclear and promote electric cars, sounds like a plan…
Nah, I bet the shortage will be higher with all these new electric company cars
I really want to read the risk analysis/study/report/letter/post-it note/… that all journalists were talking about yesterday. Where is it? I’ve been searching for it a good part of yesterday and this morning already.
which just fuels my suspicion that the journalists that had access to the letter have little to no idea how to correctly interpret and summarize the technical information in it
I do be like that yeah
We need nuclear power. Are they going to use more coal plants to replace the CLEAN and GREEN nuclear power ?
We should have started building new ones five years ago
Belgian “government”
They should be taking the time to renovate those nuclear reactors while they’re empty. Take the time to make sure there are no risks involved
Just put up four new wind turbines up here, one is within the zoning limits among the buildings.
Groen fucked around and found out
I usually think you can’t simplify government reactions, but in this case, yeah, this pretty much sums it up.
