Sure, energy is a ladder, energy production tuned for higher capital investment ventures have lower long term operating costs. There is an opportunity cost to investing in one policy, like green energy, versus another, like nuclear; they traded a cheap energy future for false advertising.
- walthamstow 3y agoDivesting from nuclear is a big problem, I agree. Anti-Nuclear has been the policy in Germany for decades. The UK has been investing massively in Wind for decades. The prices only went up after the war in 2021.
- Geisterde 3y agoI appreciate that. Energy could be like 8 cents/kwh though, probably less. I generally consider societies ready access to cheap energy to be the engine that creates wealth, I think we probably agree on that; maybe I havent said enough to convince you that energy could be cheaper, but given that it seems clear to me that any policy which doesnt provide cheaper energy fails categorically. I dont have a great read on why you are so committed to arguing that the green energy policy has not failed; considering we certainly agree divesting from nuclear was the wrong choice, that the energy wouldnt fit the connotation of green energy, and that we probably (I assume) agree that cheap energy is a critical aspect of developed nations, I am having trouble understanding where you are coming from.
