@jwildeboer still don't understand the ultimate point you're trying to make. Yes, France is producing from nuclear less than normally now, yet they still have much smaller carbon footprint and dependency on Russia than Germany and Germany is not really saving them except for being a transfer country for power surplus in the north.
What could France do better? Decomission the plants and rely on coal and gas much more than now?
@sesivany @jwildeboer
Dears , one of the point might be .. That nuclear power AS it is . is no solution. The amount of uranium is restricted and comes Form where ? At the time . to build PV vor Wind Parks is much More cheap.
So if fission authority doesn't geht to make nuclear Fusion .. Built of Nuclear power plants makes no sense at All.
We need More #storage and maybe some #p2x
@aiquez @jwildeboer well, one thing is building new nuclear plants, another is decommissioning already functioning. We're years from being able to rely completely on renewables. Once we're, by all means let's decomission all nuclear plants. I will have no problem with that. But until then every ton of CO2 released to the atmosphere counts and France has been emitting much less of it even with their poorly maintained plants.
@sesivany @jwildeboer What about more solar and wind energy instead of fossil or nuclear fuels?
@hackbyte @jwildeboer I'm all for it, but until we achieve full reliability on renewables, let's keeping using already existing nuclear plants instead of burning coal and gas. The difference between the two (on examples of France and Germany) is quite telling in terms of carbon footprint.
