Neither nuclear nor renewables would be useful right now for heating homes or powering the industry. There are few who would claim so - except for those, who try to abuse the gas shortage to push for nuclear, despite the decision about nuclear taken over 10 years ago.
- AndrewThrowaway 4y agoIt is not "right now". If nuclear was still an option, cheap electricity was an option, a lot of households would have electrical heating, heat pumps and etc. Now they all depends on gas for some time now because of these politics.
- creato 4y agoEurope generates a lot of electricity from gas.
- the_cramer 4y agoEspecially in regards to Germany we would not have the current problem if we had decided or acted differently. Maybe pro-nuclear, maybe more building alternatives. For now you are right, we won't be able to activate anything nuclear till the winter. The funny thing is, the same people arguing against nuclear power (with mostly ridiculously unscientific arguments against all statistics) will be the ones complaining about the situation and that politics should save us all. I am very interested in the pro/contra nuclear discussion and the more i know about it, the more our current situation saddens me.
