Germany has massively higher emissions than France, for instance, because of its continued reliance on coal and gas, and even oil, which is indeed partly due to its phasing out nuclear.
I think 'seriousness' on climate change should be judge on emissions numbers, not spin about renewables.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoGermany has caught up on France in GHGemissions per dollar GDP across their whole economy, because there is more to climate change than just electricity production. While phasing out nuclear. They're doing better than the USA for example.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoThis is a strawman argument. You're ignoring the point, which is actual emissions, and are arguing instead that they are are getting more GDP per unit emissions than other, which is not the same and certainly is orthogonal to amount of emissions.
