“Der Spiegel reports that “Germany’s CO2 emissions haven’t been reduced by even a single gram,” and additional coal- and gas-fired plants have been constructed to ensure reliable delivery.”
Germany shut down its final 3 nuclear plants in April with the 6% of power lost being made up by dirty coal plants. 30% of Germany’s power is now generated by coal.
They promised the Greens they would and they did.
The anti-nuclear cabal cited 3 mile island, Chernobyl and Fuchusima as risks.
The hearings about 3 mile island were held in a granite building that exposed the reviewers to more radiation than the whole 3 mile island fiasko.
Germany has never had a tsunami like the one that destroyed the poorly sited Fukushima plant, and Russian engineering can’t be compared to German...Lada versus Mercedes.
It is irrational to shutter nuclear plants to run coal, if you are serious about CO2 emmissions, but then nothing about this saga is rational.
If the green nazis were serious about reliable power generation, there would be a worldwide effort to advance nuclear power generation with safer technology. A Manhattan Project so to speak. However, despite supposed breakthroughs with fusion power, the green nazis will never allow fusion plants to become reality.
