Did we learn nothing from the Iraq war?
The loss of thousands of innocent lives, the human and environmental catastrophe and the destabilisation of entire regions.
Another world is possible: one powered by peace, justice and renewable energy, not oil, gas and fossil fuel-driven conflict. Ending the age of fossil fuels means weakening the systems that enrich autocrats and warmongers, and building a future that puts people, not profit, first.

No. Too expensive, dangerous and not needed at all.
Comparing the CO2 emission intensity of electricity between Germany and France it seems like it’s desperately needed.
Not at all. We will be CO2 neutral without it easily.
But it’s not and France practically is.
But it is, and France is facing gigantic problems with its old and failing nuclear ruins. Replacements for these dangours things might be available in 30 years, but for crazy prices only.
So, no, nuclear is not an option at all.
I wish Germany had more of these “ruins” rather than tons of new & shiny PV panels and 10x higher CO2 emissions as today. The whole exercise is about decarbonisation, remember? 😄
Yes, exactly, and what better way than using shiny solar panels and powerful wind turbines than highly dangerous nuclear devices that create deadly trash that needs to be stored for 500.000 years?
It is great that we turned that stuff off, very good, actually.
So if decarbonisation is the objective, then why is Germany’s annual CO2 intensity still 10x higher than France’s in spite of having 10x more renewables? 🤔 This means you don’t really care about decarbonisation, but about some unicorn fantasies that don’t really matter for the climate.
Bullshit. If we *would* build new nuclear plants, it would take 30 years, 3 or 4 trillion Euros, and no way there were completed in time to actually help with decarbonisation.
France will lose 50% of their nucler power in the next five years due to their ageing damaged reactors, and then they have more than massive problems.
Funny enough, German CO2 emisisons have been reduced already, especially after turning off the nuclear power plants. Oh my.
Our problem is buildings and traffic, and nuclear plants do not help with that, of course.
