People in Germany said these things 10 years ago too.
If Germany had started building nuclear in quantity 10 years ago then they would be coming online now and would get cheaper with each new plant. Instead you will have crippling and deindustrializing power prices for years to come.
- adrianN 4y agoIf we had continued building renewables in quantity ten years ago we would be in much better shape now too. Unfortunately we did neither.
- someguydave 4y agoI don’t believe it is possible to run Germany on only renewables 1) without massive subsidies 2) without huge investments in storage tech (research and production) 3) without building solar/wind in outside places like North Africa Nuclear fission solves all of those problems and is a known ( and safe) technology.
