Greenpeace still managed to disrupt nuclear summit in Paris yesterday.
Stay classy Greenpeace, leave nuclear power alone.
Its not too late to restart German nukes. But SPD will never allow this. They would rather burn more gas and coal.
It is correct. Nuclear operates independently of the weather.
24/7 in France.
It the wind turbine placement is correct it does not bring big impact on the environment.
However if it is close to valuable ecosystem birds and especially bats may suffer. Also insects that are carried with wind are affected.
This has kind of aged well, but also has different context today.
Yes, its 2026 already and I feel like anti nuclear arguments from the 90s are having a field day today from German users.
There are actually plenty of times when there is no wind in all of Europe in fact.
But even if that was true, nobody will overbuild transmission to support the whole continent from random places where it is actually windy right now.
Were they built for free?
You can store nuclear fuel for decades ahead.
Nuclear waste from civilian operations is absolutely separated from the environment, and perfectly safe. Compared to all other technologies its very clean power
Rivers are not drying up to stop cooling but hotter than legally allowed to use for cooling.
This affects about 1% of nuclear summer production and is a negligible problem given nuclear is absolutely crucial in winter when there is no wind and sun.
While ignoring nuclear power, the EU has traded russian energy blackmail (Nord Stream) for a Qatari one.
Energy security is important, but it was criminally ignored in recent times. I'm worried that Europe will learn this all over again, the hard way.
We no longer dump nuclear waste into the oceans. This is no longer an issue.
The real problem is waste from fossil fuels: we dump it into the atmosphere, toxic mercury from power generation bioacumulates and has a half life of billions of years.
Swedish Energy Minister is furious with Germany.
Lack of nuclear is increasing energy prices in other countries today.
Problem is, this system is working as intended. This is how @eucomission.bsky.social intended it to work for years. Its not a bug, its a feature.
Bad policy, expected outcomes.
No need for a doctor, when patients know better what can cure them.
