The "non existent science fiction technology" you're talking about (wind turbines, solar, hydrolysis) is already there for many decades. It just needed a proper push to incentivize the industry to produce and deploy it at massive scale. When deployed at scale it constantly produces clean energy at unbeatable prices per kWh. Compare that to nuclear being heavily subsidized by tax money to achieve affordable customer prices. The only real downside is that renewables take a lot of space (2% of Germany's area only for onshore wind turbines).
NB: Schwesig promoted Russian gas to improve her local industry. She was the pawn sacrifice of the "leadership" in the whole shitshow.
- cubefox 3y agoNuclear energy works since more than half a century, large scale energy storage is still not available. So yes, it is de facto a science fiction technology at this point. It does not exist, much less does it have unbeatable prices. Again, one cannot simply demand that it is available and blame "scientists and industry" when it isn't available. Regarding subsidies: Germany has in fact massively subsidized renewable energy, but all this got negated by needlessly disabling nuclear power. Germany produces way more CO2 than France.
