Ariene 6 is basically useless for space solar power. Even if you assume Starship Space Solar doesnt make sense. With Ariane 6 its beyond insane and useless to even try. Had Germany done the Grühnewende with mass constructing nuclear they would be done by now and likely German companies would be building nuclear plants in Poland and likely many other countries. Germany could have spend the next 50 years building nuclear plants all over the world. Honckley is a terrible example. Everybody know if you build a single PWR in a country with very little experiance its not gone be worth it. You need to build many to get learning effects, educate the work force. If they had done that they could be finishing multible plants a year at a very cheap price. And that is even assume they built shitty PWRs rather then some next generation reactors. Solar and Wind without Storage look good in the statistics but on a systematic level it causes many isses as well. Storage is still not solved so fossile will stay for a while yet. And even if you have storage a single matural disaster can cause a shortfall of electricity that overwhelms your storage. Not to mention far more waste, far less attractive in term of livable envoironments. More land use and so on.
