More importantly, as a result, they will burn more fossil energy. I think that's the crucial point.
No one would mock Germany for trying if it were 100% nuclear. But it chose a technology that will delay its exit from fossil fuel economy.
- lispm 7y agoIt chose to build a completely new energy landscape, which will not only transform Germany.
- emsign 7y agoWrong, Germany is burning less and less fossil fuel because of the massive increase of renewables. Germany aims at 100% renewable energy. The government has passed a law to fade out fossil energy and joined an international alliance of countries who want to do the same.
- natmaka 7y agoFrance, often cited as a sound nuke-advocate (world tally: second nation in raw amount of grid electricity produced by nuclear plants, and first by the part of it) is in fact... ... escaping from it! A law (2015-992, from 2015, the "loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte") states that the part of nuke-produced electricity must fall to less than 50% in 2025, from 72% then, and that renewables must replace it. 2 years later the government (lacking funds and unable to cope) reported it to 2025, then 2 years later to 2035 ("programmation pluriannuelle de l'énergie"). However the political and strategical orientation is perfectly clear, just don't believe France is on the nuke camp.
