Even before this new reactor Finland had lower gCO₂eq/kWh than Germany or Austria (with way harsher winters to boot). Once this thing starts Finland will get even further ahead.
In Europe basically only France and the other Nordic countries are ahead of Finland in the cleanliness of their energy production.
It really should not matter how the energy is produced the only thing that matters for clime change is how much CO₂ gets pumped into the atmosphere.

Which is 0 for nuclear
- doikor 4y agoYes for nuclear the emissions are very close to 0 (lower or on par with wind depending on the study). The best time to start building new low emission capacity was 3 or 4 decades ago like that France did but the next best time is today. I really don't care what kind you build as long as it is low emission. For Finland nuclear seems to be working really well. Having one of the cheapest and cleanest electricity in EU is more then enough proof of that to me.
