  • According to a 2024 article in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy, Germany could have saved hundreds of billions of euros and reduced its carbon emissions by as much as 70% by embracing nuclear energy rather than rejecting it.

    Good job German Greens! Well done! 👏👏👏

    They are like the right wingers: ideology over facts. I bet if the conservatives win in the next election, fuck some other parts of the country but manage to introduce nuclear again, the next green government will go about undoing nuclear, regardless of its benefits.


  • Basically, when the right-wing CDU started the phase-out

    LMAO. Completely false:

    In 2000, the First Schröder cabinet, consisting of the SPD and Alliance ‘90/The Greens, officially announced its intention to phase out the use of nuclear energy. The power plants in Stade and in Obrigheim were turned off on 14 November 2003, and 11 May 2005, respectively. The plants’ dismantling was scheduled to begin in 2007.

    Fukushima forced the hand of the CDU afterwards.

    It was a dumb idea in 2000, a dumber idea in 2011, and amongst the dumbest ideas during the war. Unfortunately, the anti-nuclear people shot us all in the foot with their “what about our children in 1000 years” crap. So concentrated on the far far future were they, that they ignored what impact it would have on the near and medium term. Sure, the children in 1000 years might not run into nuclear waste, but they’ll be living in a climate change wasteland. Good job!







  • LMAO, I sincerely wish that happens, but the EU is not taking the war seriously. Putin waggles with his thumb into a camera spouting something about nuclear weapons and EU leaders tuck their tails in-between their legs. “Yes Mr. Putin, Western weapons shall not be used against you on your soil. We fear your wrath”.

    Ukraine would never have had to enter the war had every EU country east of Poland understood the threat that Russia posed. Ukraine would never have had to fight so long had the EU given them more weapons and ammunition. Ukraine could’ve possibly ended the war months back had they been given the weapons and right to strike in Russian territory.

    Ukraine has to survive this winter, then survive Trump, then survive the EU’s (again) belated response to Trump. A lot more is going to happen in 2025 and I can only hope the EU members really acknowledge the Russian threat instead of treating Ukraine as some kind of disposable child. Ukraine has to be put in a position to make a favorable peace deal, which they aren’t at the moment.
