I am not arguing that nuclear should have been phased when it was, as that resulted in more coal and gas, but that clinging to it now is a mistake.
Building a new nuclear power plant in Germany would take a decade if things went well.
Until then grid battery storage can mature and demand adjustment projects can be rolled out. It's probably also easier to convince germans to accept pumped hydro where they live over nuclear.

With the same amount of money you can build so much more renewable generation and storage than nuclear.
How dare they replace the random falsehoods LLMs normally produce, they their curated falsehoods!
After some bureaucratic steps, it gets to the european commission and parliament, which will discuss it and write a response.
If the commission feels like it, it will make a law for the parliament to vote on.
It is also massively uneconomical. Even with existing subsidies, like free insurance and long term storage, plant operators don't want to keep going.
Modern day nuclear advocates are like the Japanese soldiers in the 70s refusing to admit the war was lost decades ago.
The only reason "civilian" nuclear power exists is as a fig leaf for nuclear armament.
I don't think post war Germany had the delusion of their own nukes. Here the nuclear industry just exists to shuffle public money into private pockets.

They yearn for the tails of their ancestors.
That's a centrist pipe dream, the morons accelerated them both to the right.
Great quiz. It teaches you the rules while training you to expect the unexpected, even in the rare cases that the rules are applied consistently.
I got exactly half the questions right.
