Greta Thunberg calls Germany using coal over nuclear a ‘bad idea’
politico ^ | 10-11-22 | KARL MATHIESEN AND ZIA WEISE

n an interview to be aired Wednesday, a teaser of which was shared online by TV host Sandra Maischberger, the Swedish campaigner said turning off the nuclear power stations was a "bad idea" if it meant switching to coal.

Asked if nuclear was preferable for the climate, Thunberg said: "It depends. If they are already running, I think it would be a mistake to shut them down and turn to coal."

Germany had planned to close its remaining three nuclear plants at the end of the year. With a gas squeeze and extended outages of French nuclear plants causing shortages and price spikes, two of the reactors are now likely to have their lives extended, but only until April.

Why do we care what this child thinks?

Shouldn’t every other child in world receive equal media coverage for his or her opinions?

Why, Oh Why! Didn’t the Germans check with Greta before they shut those nuclear plants down?

I do wonder, how is it, that a Swedish schoolgirl was given international media attention in the first place? Is it because she was pushing global warming, and the media being so enamored of that subject, glommed onto her and pushed her forward?

I would agree with her. Nuclear is environmentally better than coal. If there is a choice.

Right now, Germany probably needs to use both.

And Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is now in the hands of Russia. Yet another reason, Russia needs to be driven out of Ukraine and the sooner the better.

She's right about not shutting down Nuclear plants, but it was the Environazis who pushed for shutting them down in the first place.
