Doesn’t help that they decommissioned all their nuclear plants
It doesnt help the "Record Renewables Buildout"?
No, actually it helped a lot.I can't believe that Germany is being attacked for creating more renewable, clean energy. I mean, go against those dirty coal mining that is still left, that would be fair.
But an outcry because of the expansion of renewable energies? This is just "Ahrrggg... Germany energy politics bad, BAMM BAMM BAMM."
Please find an actual issue to be angry and shouting about.
The coal is still left why exactly? Besides, neuclear is perfecly climate neutral.
Storage is an unsolved problem in 2024. NIMBY and some old storage facilities are failing, a problem for our kids to solve and pay for. I'm a nuclear proponent or I used to be one, but this ship has sailed for good.
In case anyone is wondering "where does that 'yellow barrel is radioactive waste' meme come from" it comes from Germany. Those barrels contain mid-level radioactive waste, were only designed to contain it until they arrive in the depository, which is an old salt mine, which is in the process of getting dissolved by water incursions. Storing stuff in there cost the industry about 900k Euro in fees, fixing everything up is projected to cost on the order of six billion tax payer Euros. That's a subsidy right there isn't it. And this shit is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.
Long story short pretty much noone in Germany trusts the nuclear industry to install a washing machine, much less operate nuclear plants or storage facilities.
