Sweden adopts new fossil-free target, making way for nuclear
Sweden’s parliament has voted to change its 100% renewable target to a 100% fossil-free target, leaving the door open for nuclear.
You're viewing a single thread.
Meanwhile Germany is decommissioning nuclear energy. I was triggered when plasmatrap.com energy costs are almost €473 per year.
Germany would have decomissened its nuclear plants and have them replaced duely with renewable if it wouldn't have been for Merkel to first extend the plants lifetime and drastically block new renewables, followed by shortening the plants lifetime back to the original plan, but without building up renewables as was planned originally.
The whole maneuver did cost a couple billions fed to the energy companies, without achieving any improvement in the defossilation.
Now extending the plants lifetime again, would have cost billions again, without them actually helping in the energy crisis sparked by the war in Ukraine, because the plants would have required extensive maintenance now. So it would have been another maneuver not doing anything, but wasteing money.
Isar-2 had literal decades of lifetime still left. it was among the most modern and safest plants in Europe.
Yeah. That's for server operators. https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/9g55jrgl6i
