Basic facts like all Germans are imbeciles? These are opinions, not facts.
Yes we chose not to build such facilities and that’s why we should not produce more nuclear waste. This is exactly my argument you failed to respond to.
Being in opposition to nuclear power does not mean we are coal energy proponents. We should aim for 100% renewables, which is feasible according to current studies.
What matters is what you actually do not what you say, and what Germany is doing is doubling down on coal while dismantling nuclear power infrastructure.
This is not true. Germany has pledged to get out of coal by the year 2038 and complete the switch to climate neutral energy production by the year 2045.
Completely irrelevant what proclamations Germany makes. What actually matters is what Germany is doing, and on the current path there’s no way chance of meeting the goals Germany has set.
Why is that? 100% renewables is feasible according to studies. Germany has reached 52% renewables in 2023 and the goal is to increase this value to 100% until 2045.
There seems to be a misunderstanding, Germany is reactivating old coal power plants, not building new ones.
This happened because we wanted to get out of nuclear energy. This started already in 2011. This was called the “Atomausstieg”(nuclear power phase-out) and it was supported by a large part of the German populace. Especially in the aftermath of the Fukushima meltdown, Germany wanted to get out of nuclear power production. This phase-out was finished in 2023. But when the war in Ukraine started the German dependence on Russian gas proved to be a problem.
In order to address this 14 old coal power plants have been reactivated.
According to the current plans Germany wants to build 40 new climate neutral hydrogen power plants.
IMHO this is not a fact but an opinion of yours. I for one think it’s not intelligent to produce more radioactive waste without having a facility to store it safely for a long time.

It’s a fact that investing in coal while dismantling nuclear power infrastructure is not a sign of intelligent behavior.

Why is it that Germany is now building coal plans after many years of investing in renewables?
