#82So to summarize, they were wrong to move away from nuclear. They were wrong to ban fuel vehicle at the EU scale. They were wrong to welcome 1 million Syrian refugees. They were wrong to cut off gaz from Russia. At what point does that political class that has destroyed Europe, gets voted out for good, if not prosecuted ?

Why were they wrong to cut off gas from Russia?
The fact that these threads are always full of lies with all these twisted narratives show you who's doing the talking in all of them really. This thread was a few minutes old when someone had to mention that "The US blew up the pipeline" and this shit doesn't even collect downvotes or gets flagged, it rises to the top.
I clicked on two accounts posting lies and saw Russian software companies mentioned in their scant posting history, which in itself is not a crime, but also a fitting signal.

They didn't even. They announced a time-plan to stop buying Russian gas eventually. Russia weaponized gas deliveries and stopped delivering. In fact, even before the war and any "unfriendly" action by Europe, they underdelivered to keep the gas storages (which they owned) low and drive the prices up. This alone should make anyone not want to buy Russian gas again. The fact that these threads are always full of lies w…
As to the Nord Stream, German prosecution services have arrested a Ukrainian national, Serhii Kuznetsov, in their ongoing investigations. The NY Times, the Spiegel, and Washington Post (all very well-known KGB mouth pieces), strongly point to Ukraine as well.
So my question is, are you really in a good position to lecture everyone about "fake news" on those topics ? I guess you were also telling us all that Trump was a KGB agent, before that got debunked in court ?

Batteries are not actually becoming dirt cheap. And if you do the math of how much you need, even if batteries get cheaper by 50% (and that is unlikely just based on materials cost) its nowhere near enough. > decentral production wins amidst clusterfucking climate catastrophes If you do the math you will see Germany could have actually saved money if they had build nuclear in the 2000s. > solar and wind already are c…
>even if batteries get cheaper by 50% (and that is unlikely just based on materials cost) its nowhere near enough. Could you share this math?
There is a reason that Germany and Europe is planning to do very long distance transport of solar energy. Only by having diverse weather pattern across Europe can you possible do it. Of course this is also incredibly expensive.
Even if you assume a very low price from batteries like Form Energy, its still insanely expensive.

Fission could and is a sustainable way to have green energy forever. No need to transition at all. Fusion is unlikely to be cheaper anytime soon, even if somebody could build a plant that makes positive energy.
Hey, just wait 25 years, and fusion will be cheaper than anything ;)
In addition, the materials you need for a nuclear reactor are pretty simply and can be done with 1960s technology, while the materials for a fusion reactor are literally unknown.
So all the assumptions about fusion are just wrong, the increase in energy density of fusion over fission is pointless, unless maybe we want to travel do another star system.

#89All of these should have been shut down (by now). The mistake was not building new ones to replace them.
Except China, who is good at building them.
