Neither is Germany. If you bothered to look at the article you would see that fossil fuel energy generation is down.
You dumbasses build the most expensive form of energy generation and wanna blame Germany for that? U ok?
Are you actually this delusional to think nuclear is cheap? Have you not once googled how much electricity generation costs? Not once?
Ah yes you don’t have the exact same problem with nuclear because energy usage never fluctuates. But even if it would takes 10 times more money to store solar energy it still would be cheaper than nuclear.
Except your wrong. It’s the most expensive form of energy generation. The question is are you just dumb or saying wrong stuff on purpose. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_electricity
But nobody is doing that.
The German nuclear plants needed maintenance and refurbishment. Makes sense to invest an other billion to run it for 2 more years.
The renewable energy share skyrocketed since the nuclear shutdown
Not true. One big problem in Germany is that the grid can’t handle all the electricity generated by renewables so they often shut them down. Something you can’t do with nuclear l. Since nuclear got of the grid it got more capacity for renewables hence the share jumped this year.
Except Germany closed down more coal plants after closing their nuclear plants. Don’t make up facts
And where do these country store their spend fuel? Oh right they haven’t figured it out
Yes? Easily.
There is 1 country that’s it
And? You have good public transport and good bike infrastructure. Make it 5€
Looool maybe read your own source. Germany wants to build hydrogen peeker plants. Germany is not building new coal plants they are shutting them down. Europe’s industrial powerhouse has higher carbon emissions than France and Sweden? I am shocked.
You keep mentioning France yet not even France is building nuclear at the rate they are decommissioning their old plants.
It takes 20 years for a nuclear reactor by that time Germany will already be climate neutral. This year Germany will add mor than 10gws of new solar even at only 20% usage that’s more than 1 new reactor a year at a fraction of the cost and no fuel needed. The target rate will cap at about 20 GW which Germany is on track to beat.
Energy isn’t used evenly throughout the day. Nuclear makes 0 sense and again just looking at Germany’s numbers they used no new coal to compensate the loss of nuclear just more solar and wind.

Since the decommissioning the energy got cleaner and cheaper. That’s a simple fact you can’t deny.

Which country? Country’s are investing in renewables you know the energy source that’s cheaper and quicker to deploy than nuclear.
Nuclear is bad for your grid it’s not flexible. Look at Germany since they stopped using nuclear they where able to use way more solar and wind which previously had to be turned off because nuclear is not flexible.
Good strawman where did I say build coal or gas instead? How are you saving the planet when 1 reactor takes 20 years?
Ah yes nuclear energy only takes 20 years to build a new reactor. Ah the most expensive form of energy generation let’s invest in that.
No they aren’t. There are so many different battery types that don’t use any rare materials. You can store heat in salt. SALT
