> I don't understand why Europe is being so bearish on nuclear. It'll solve all of their energy woes without becoming dependent on Russia. you are just clueless. > Germany shut their plants down and is now buying LNG. That's a downgrade. > Nuclear is the quickest path to green, and it's staring us right in our faces. you would need both anyway? nuclear does not change the fact that you need LNG. I often hear so many stupid arguments like yours, I wonder where do people think that nuclear means solving energy problems and reducing coal and gas? in fact nuclear solves the base load problem when there is low wind, BUT it's not the reason why germany uses so much coal. germany was always strong on coal and it was political that we neither reduced it as much as we should have. btw. even frances uses tons of lng besides a heavy nuclear user (60% at the moment I'm writing can serve up to 80% of it's energy with nuclear), in fact it's second highest energy is gas.
