According to the EU nuclear power is green. So solution #2 would save the climate, based on that logic. Actually inflation was already there before the war, so it is mostly because of #3.

Also according to the EU: Natural gas is now green in some circumstances. I'm not sure what to make of this. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/06/europe-natural-gas-nuclear-are-green-energy-in-some-circumstances-.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/06/europe-natural-gas-nuclear-a...

The EU classifying nuclear power as being Green is a recent development.

Nuclear is climate friendly!! Just not environment friendly. Especially for "longer living" species like humans. I don't understand why its supper common for people not understand that climate and environmental friendly often overlap but are not always the same and sometimes in direct conflict. For climate protection nuclear power is currently probably the best choice we have (globally). But for environmental protection and protection of human health it isn't. Anyway coal is worse for both and tbh. the German green party should have focused on getting out of coal not nuclear power.

  Even incuding Chernobyl, Fukushima, and other nuclear disasters, pollution from coal has taken far more life-years from humans than nuclear energy. Our record with nuclear is not perfect. The technology is not forgiving of mistakes. But we learn from every failure and adapt. It's like passenger air transport in that way.
