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.

It’s #TimeToResist

@greenpeace Fully agreed, thank you for promoting one the most important low-carbon and dispatchable electricity sources - #nuclear power which works perfectly along with renewables!

@kravietz @greenpeace

No. Too expensive, dangerous and not needed at all.

@cdfinder @greenpeace

Comparing the CO2 emission intensity of electricity between Germany and France it seems like it’s desperately needed.

@kravietz @greenpeace

Not at all. We will be CO2 neutral without it easily.

@cdfinder @greenpeace

But it’s not and France practically is.

@kravietz @greenpeace

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.

@cdfinder

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? 😄

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

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.

@cdfinder

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.

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

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.

@cdfinder

You would not need to build anything if you haven’t shut them down in the first place 😂 You see that fat brown strip at the bottom that never goes below 5-10 MW? That’s lignite - you literally chose lignite (1000 gCO2eq/kWh) over nuclear power (5.6 gCO2eq/kWh) 🤦

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

Sure we would need to build them anew, as the old ones have been turned off because they reached their end of life. Even the companies running them didn't want to run them anymore, due to lack of Uranium rods, and because they were simply too expensive and dangerous.

So what is it you want to say? We should waste trillions of Euros for an old tech that is higly dangerous, or we should use a lot less for clean, cheap, and crazy safe energy?

A total no-brainer for all involved.

@cdfinder

Sure, just continue burning lignite! 😄

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

Again, what the heck do you want to say? Is there any purpose in your posts here?

@cdfinder

It was you who originally replied to me with your “No. Too expensive, dangerous and not needed at all” nonsense and now you don’t know what you wanted to say?

My point is and was very simple from the beginning - the climate is my priority, so I want to decarbonise economy with any means that work and nuclear power combined with renewables work best.

I show concrete data to prove that while you continue throw some generic fallacies to prevent decarbonisation using nuclear power, so you should ask yourself “what the heck you want to say” in the first place.

Clearly, you don’t give a shit about climate if you prefer to burn lignite only to get rid of nuclear power in Germany 🤷

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

That is all crazy nonsense, really. Nuclear power plants are hard to control and a very bad match for renewables.

So NO, they don't work best, much to the contrary.

I told you how expensive, dangerous, and how crazy long it would take to build them, but you just ignored all of that.

You clearly have no idea how that all works.

@cdfinder

You just repeat these fallacies about “expensive and dangerous” without any supporting data, so excuse me but I’m going to stop wasting time on you, lignite lover.

@greenpeace

@kravietz @greenpeace

Just what we need, more Plutonium Bros.

Check out what the new French and British Nuclear devices have cost, how long it took them to build, and how they brought both companies trying to build and run them to bankruptcy, so they needed to be bailed out by the states.

I don't need to add any more data, as you ignore all of that anyway. 😂
