Germany has dropped from 76% of US GDP per capita in 2015 to only 61% today.
If AI turns out to be economically valuable the EU fixation on non-nuclear renewables may have turned out to be a very costly error.

- oezi 1y agoLet me understand the AI argument you are making: Are you saying that if AI is valuable (which is likely) then not having cheap electricity is going to be downside? I would have two objections: - Data center operation and construction is only a fraction of the value creation. If Europe is behind on the AI race it won't matter where the data centers are because the profits are going to go to US companies (as with Google and Facebook so far). - What makes you think that Nuclear would help in any way to have cheap energy? Nuclear has become by far the most expensive energy generation method. Building new nuclear is unfeasible in the west.
