Germany's power producers are preparing for their first winter without nuclear power, after the country closed its last remaining reactors in early 2023 amid ongoing efforts to modernize its energy system.
It amazes me that the most expensive and slowest to build energy source that produces the worst waste imaginable is so cherished by some online trolls that they constantly demand to consider nuclear over renewables.
It isn’t but it has all the same downsides as fossil fuels in terms of being dependent on some countries for fuel imports, extraction being extremely environmentally damaging, limited supply,…
You mean the ones that are at the end of their expected lifetime and have been scheduled to shutdown for 12 years which surely hasn’t lead to a lack of maintenance and upgrades that would have been done otherwise? The ones that made up a tiny percentage of our energy mix even before they were shut down?
It amazes me the carbonless energy source, nuclear, is shunned so hard by the green community that Germany is reopening coal plants.
We live in truly wild times.

You’re right. Instead let’s burn coal instead!
And yet, energy production from coal hit a new low in October.

Don’t scare them with facts.
Too expensive, takes too long to build, still fossil.
How is nuclear energy “still fossil”?

It is not, but if you spout lied loud enough some people believe you.
This does not justify closing existing, already payed, plants. And it’s not fossil.
Damn, if only you had existing plantd you could be using in Germany… Oh wait.

Virgin nuclear supporter vs chad renewables are faster and cheaper
Yeah, that’s just dumb.
