European Country Wakes Up and Smells the Reality — Forget All This 'Green' Garbage, We're Going Nuclear

Many European countries are in a pickle of their own making: they’ve allowed unfettered immigration (often by people who despise their Western values), they’ve gone all in on green energy despite the fact that it’s not ready for prime time, and they’ve embraced woke politics even more than some of the wide-eyed leftists in our own country.

But the small northwestern Euro country of Belgium (population 11.8 million) is waking up to the unfortunate fact that a lot of what’s going on isn’t doing them any favors. They can do all the windmills and solar farms they want, but if they really want to take their energy needs seriously, it’s time to re-embrace nuclear power:

Belgium is reversing its decadeslong phasing-out course, seeking more energy independence by reviving its nuclear plants.

The Belgian government signed on Thursday a Letter of Intent to acquire Electrabel's (ENGIE) entire nuclear operations in the country.

Such a move would reverse the phase-out of nuclear energy legislation adopted in the early 2000s amid safety concerns.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever stated that the country is aiming to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and gain greater autonomy in managing its own energy supplies.

The PM posted to X on Thursday, saying that it’s time the country takes control of its future:

LOL! During my first trip to europe in the 1980s Belgium was the most Islamic I had ever seen. Even back then they came across as the most woke (before ‘woke’ existed) country I’ve visited. This thread should be interesting.

Nuclear is in many ways the best energy source regarding environmentalism. Reactors have become significantly safer, and spent fuel is a problem we can seal with.

I was expecting just about any country other than Belgium.

Launch the spent fuel into the Sun...........

[posterchild]

Make the breeder reactors Carter dissed and have further fuel.

Nuclear power? Wait a minute. I thought that the answer to everyone’s energy problems was wind turbines and solar panels.

Belgium has obviously gone off the rails. Send in Greta Thunberg to get their minds right. One or two lectures ought to do it.

The Germans are the dumbest when it comes green energy. They actually closed their nuclear plants, ended up cutting down and burning trees for electricity. The French are the most sly. They talk a green game but never once harmed themselves by shutting any power plants. They have the most nuclear plants in Europe. Why should America still care about these people?

From his twitter back in Feb::

Europe must stop trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once.

There is a clear trinity of top priorities: innovation, productivity and competitiveness. That is where our focus must be. If not, the decarbonisation of Europe will become synonymous with its deindustrialisation, poverty and irrelevance.

If we want Europe to matter in the world, our industry must matter first. It is up to us!

MEGA!

Make Europe Great Again!.............

How is the EEEEwwwwwwwwuuuuhhhhh not disciplining them?

I’d say send it into the mantle via the Mariana Trench.

For some reason this jumped into my brain: The Pepsi Syndrome from 1979

I saw the original!....................

Some fool would try and retrieve it in a carbon fiber sub and a game controller...........

Same here:). I’m in my early 60s.

"I thought that the answer to everyone’s energy problems was wind turbines and solar panels.

Maybe the trespassers have already stripped green power of parts and sold it as scrap.

The French are the most sly. They talk a green game but never once harmed themselves by shutting any power plants. They have the most nuclear plants in Europe.

They aren't being "sly". They openly embrace nuclear energy as "green" and sustainable. Almost 70% of their electricity comes from nuclear power plants and another 15% from hydro. They get less from wind and solar than we do. They are pretty much the opposite of Germany.

HOW DARE YOU! replied crazy Greta.
