Why would we need to store energy for more than an day? We only need to smooth out the difference between supply and demand.
The mayor advantage of the European grid is the disconnectedness over long distances. There are always enough places where the sun shines or the wind blows.
They had UBI for a month during the pandemic.
I am not arguing that nuclear should have been phased when it was, as that resulted in more coal and gas, but that clinging to it now is a mistake.
Building a new nuclear power plant in Germany would take a decade if things went well.
Until then grid battery storage can mature and demand adjustment projects can be rolled out. It's probably also easier to convince germans to accept pumped hydro where they live over nuclear.
With the same amount of money you can build so much more renewable generation and storage than nuclear.
How dare they replace the random falsehoods LLMs normally produce, they their curated falsehoods!
It is also massively uneconomical. Even with existing subsidies, like free insurance and long term storage, plant operators don't want to keep going.
Modern day nuclear advocates are like the Japanese soldiers in the 70s refusing to admit the war was lost decades ago.
The only reason "civilian" nuclear power exists is as a fig leaf for nuclear armament.
I don't think post war Germany had the delusion of their own nukes. Here the nuclear industry just exists to shuffle public money into private pockets.
They yearn for the tails of their ancestors.
That's a centrist pipe dream, the morons accelerated them both to the right.
Yes, but the visible light will overpower the glow.
