I feel so bad for those poor air traffic controllers

Until 50% alive are above 60 years old

Who is it that is alleging they were drug traffickers? It certainly wasn't a court of law

I want an executable file man

Lmao pretty accurate and fair though. Should've included Startpage too

Seems pretty sane to me

No, he just would've added scrutiny to the merger

At least it's not the US

I think you are saying things that you want me to think, not what I actually think. I don't think you want a substantive or productive conversation so I'm gonna end it here

"A completely unqualified, inexperienced hack. But she has great hair. Did she have to let Trump grab her by the pussy to get the nomination?"

What about this is directed at trump?

I just think the way we talk about current events is important, And frankly I disagree that it's a losing battle

I mean I tend to believe that yes, this woman is more than likely unqualified, but if your going to critique someone, do it on their merits instead of stooping to MAGA's level

Not to be that guy, but what makes this post any different from the people saying Kamala slept her way into being VP

Bro's like "have you seen how much autism rates have gone up" and then decides to stop measuring autism rates

I literally just watched a west wing episode abt this shit, you would thing we would have learned something 20 years later

Anyone ever watched gattaca?

Surely this won't cause inflation

If any one of these headlines could've been time traveled to before the election, the GOP would've immediately denied it and called the left conspiracy theorists. Now they just say it outright

This looks great

To answer your question,
Yes

You see that big purple chunk pre-2011? Even if Germany built no new nuclear reactors after fukushima, and had just kept what it had, that would generate as much energy as Germany gets from burning coal today. Here's the full graph btw, you'll see that for decades nuclear was a clean power supply

New reactors are certainly less competitive than other energy offerings like wind and solar, but old reactors that haven't reached expiration are very cheap to operate

All countries subsidize there energy sectors as it's a strategic way to gain energy independence, but even then Germany spends $10 billion more than France does

The "right thing" has resulted in expensive energy and dependence on Russian oil. Every day you can go and look at the difference between the countries that kept nuclear, and those that got rid of it. Germany is behind on energy because of this

The better time to decommission nuclear would've been when they were set to expire, they are in fact losing out on money that could've been created from keeping these plants alive. Renewables being expensive at the time is all the more reason why the CDU shouldn't have folded to public pressure

But nuclear is still cheaper than coal, so why would Germany phase out nuclear if they then increased the burning of coal for energy?

Nuclear is only more expensive for NEW projects, maintaining older reactors with pre-existing infrastructure is very economical. And irregardless of renewables, there's a real discussion to be had about the effects of decommissioning nuclear. France's energy is half the cost for a reason

You brought up wanting to phase out coal, I'm saying that phasing out nuclear does the opposite of phasing out coal. This happens from an increase in the price of energy, which therefore creates an incentive for people to burn coal.

I'm of the opinion that decommissioning nuclear energy and phasing out coal are two opposing ideas. When you phase out nuclear, you increase the demand for energy relative to supply, increasing to incentive for burning coal. If you want to call me a liar again, tell me what it is I'm lying about

You're attacking me, not my argument

That's not what I'm saying. After Germany decommissioned nuclear, they started burning more coal to make up for the energy deficit, which is both more expensive and more deadly. Any situation where you find yourself decommissioning nuclear to burn coal is absurd
