>While knowing that the electricity they provide is expensive enough to lead to energy poverty for generations. What are you on about? >Jevons Paradox did not happen for nuclear power. What happened was crazy cost overruns, cancellations and the industry collapsing into its current state. And the opposite happened in the past whilst europe was building bunch more of them. >Who cares if we get 95%, 97, 99% or 100% when we still need to decarbonize agriculture, aviation, chemicals, industry, construction and so on? Funny you say that when some of those are significantly harder. Are you going to turn on steel plants only in summer? Do you think that might have some effect? >You do realize that renewable subsidies are being phased out all over the world? They aren't needed anymore. Complaining about "equality" because your desired solution didn't deliver in time is a kindergarten level argument. You should tell my government and the neighbouring governments. >We've spent the past 70 years subsidizing nuclear power. It just never delivered on its promise. It did exactly that? >The relevant question is: Where does Germany spend the next €100 billion today to avoid the most emissions? it has spent €700 billion to $1 trillion on the energywende (a metric which doesn't properly include a lot of private investment) and ends as one of the worst emitters in europe whilst deindustrialising due to high energy prices. They jerk eachother off about how high their renewables share of the economy is every summer and then import and fire up the browncoal and gasplants again troughout the other seasons. When that solar panel is producing a 10th of it's average summer output (already below the capacity everyone loves to roll with for articles) in winter there's only one big winner possible. People like to point out how france's electricity production is subsidised when they come out looking good even when the gov intentionally puts a stick in it's wheels by essentially forcing it to subsidise pricing to competition.
