Coal produce 10% of the energy of Germany right now, it's 60% of the emissions.
5% of nuclear would reduce by a third the Germany emissions by reducing coal usage.
> Wouldn't change much if any at all.
- Arnt 2y agoAmazing how right you can be and still wrong. 5% of German production is about twice the projected capacity of Hinkley Point C, the only current nuclear plant I remember the name of, so that might cost maybe €60B. The same amount of PV would cost maybe €2B. If you overbuild PV by 300% you still have >€50B cost difference. You can reach any conclusion if you're willing to disregard price differences of more than 10×. Ditto if you're willing to assume near-zero cost by assuming inexpensive restauration of hardware that's past the end of its design life.
- Kuinox 2y ago> Amazing how right you can be and still wrong. Of course I'm wrong, I think differently than your beliefs, Atheist were wrong too.
- Arnt 2y agoYou do think differently than my beliefs… Independent of belief, "X has the following good feature" does not imply "X is a good idea" or "X is worth serious consideration". Belief is one thing, cost is quite another and cannot be believed away.
