One of those is not like the others. There’s no future for nuclear energy. It’s an outdated, expensive, fossile fuel just like coal and gas and Germany is doing well in phasing it out!
Nuclear is the most expensive energy form
It’s only green if you ignore several key factors like water usage for cooling, dirty mining operations and long transport routes
Its a maintenance nightmare especially compared to distributed power production like solar and wind
Nuclear fuel recycling is as big a lie as plastics recycling
Fusion remains a pipe dream even after almost 100 years of continuous research and funding
Nuclear wins in one metric though: Space efficiency per kwh!
Although it’s debatable how important that really is when we can use solar panels to provide shaded parking and place wind turbines on the open sea where there’s plenty of space…
This anti-nuclear argument is bullshit considering the context. Germany dicomissioned perfectly fine and working nuclear stations without having any better alternative essentially bringing back the worst coal mining and processing to compensate and creating a disastrous overall net loss in terms of environmental impact and energy generation efficiency. It’s a moot point now since they fucked themselves years ago, it’s no longer feasible to fix this and renewable sources are slowly overtaking coal.
Lol, what are you talking about? Most of the german nuclear power plants were built before 1980 and would not have met modern safety and operational requirements. Only three can be considered “perfectly fine and working”, but tbh. even the owners don’t know whether they would have passed the mandatory inspections in 2019 and 2039.
