Maybe stop looking at instants and start looking at the larger picture: keeping our cumulative emissions as low as possible.
Starting a nuclear construction project which won't deliver any decarbonization for 15-20 years is accepting large cumulative emissions.
- Moldoteck 2y agothey don't target 100% by 2035. They want to close last coal plant by 2038 which is a bit optimistic looking at yesterday's generation. For gas it's even worse - the plan is totally unrealistic and their planned h2 ready plants that'll use gas initially, will probably still use a mix with gas when/if green h2 becomes reality or they'll replace the generators with pure h2(unlikely) which has huge nox emissions due to high burn temperature Larger image is yesterday's generation + https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-29/germany-s-climate-transition-costs-to-spiral-as-subsidies-double https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-29/germany-s... and https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germany-looks-special-account-488-bln-power-grid-expansion-2024-03-20/ https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germany-looks-specia...
