not this again...
sure nuclear WAS fine, french power plants are getting old, can't handle oncoming increasing heatwaves and regularly have major accidents. source (german)
in the age of wind and solar and cheap batteries it is not necessary and much cheaper to build renewables.
also: french nuclear energy is only cheap because it gets heavily subsidized. a kwh of renewables is about 7ct, a kwh of nuclear is in reality about 49ct
Is this the anti-nuclear talking point now?
After decades of, "we cannot do it," it's now, "we should have done it before, it's not a good idea anymore"
Fuck right off
