> French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said on Thursday she would end all subsidies for renewable energy and take down France’s wind turbines if she is elected next year.
Why are right-wingers such morons?
“I’ll do whatever proves im more conservative than trump” lol
Didn’t she get financing from Russia?
Not good for global matters on climate change and will set France backward.
Even if you’re pro-nuclear like me, this does not make any fucking sense. Why remove stuff before they have to go (they indeed have a lifetime) ? That’s pure political gesticulation to attract the few who actually deeply hate wind turbines (yes, they exist).
Wtf stop her from participating
Does she think that the windmills will excelerate the 5G faster or what?
Trump hated the “windmills” too.
Is France going to go populist next?
That’s just retarded.
Finial Target is protect the environment
This headline is half the story.
Le Pen is 100% nuclear. There is no way forward from the climate crisis that does not involve nuclear power, and hippies just have to get over that.
But it is exceptionally wasteful to remove the infrastructure that is already in place for renewables, or to hamstring a renewable industry that creates jobs.
Reactors just don’t roll off of assembly lines in 18 months. They are multi year, multi billion dollar undertakings. You’re going to need those turbines. By the time they reach the end of their useful life, then hopefully you will have the reactors in place.
