      Focusing on the renewable target rather than plain emissions might be the most braindead take from the EU.

      I can’t fathom the absurdity of the worst polluter of the continent lecturing one of the most efficient.

      My wish-list: Kick out Scholz and finally stop Germany, Austria and Belgium from influencing our energy mix and therefore the (insane) prices of energy.

      Who? The guy that even the German wants gone? The guy who’s party is going to fall behind threshold next election? The guy who’s party leadership just fucked off because they keep bleeding votes?

      Looks like a Russian, walks like a Russian, talks like a Russian , must be an Russian asset trying to force Europe to be weak and dependent on Russian nuclear energy for future profit

      It’s like saying my healthy food wish-list: Kick vegetables out of the menu.

      I’m sure German politicians can’t be this dumb, so why are they so against nuclear?

      Sure, let’s invest in 4 nuke plants, like my country (NL) is doing. Once they’re done, say 20 years from now, do you think anybody in their right mind are going to buy those kWhs which for sure are going to be at the very least 5 times the price of any other electricity generation ability?

      As long as coal exists, we need to prop up nuclear

      Coal generates more radioactive residue, and pumps it directly into our lungs. To anyone rational – it’s a no brainer to help nuclear over coal

      Once coal and maybe gas disappear, we can talk about nuclear again. Until then everyone that wants to shut nuclear down should be treated like an idiot and isolated from making political decisions

      Germany out of all places with their absurdly high energy prices should not lecture other countries in that regard.

      It’s always simpler to amputate something you think you don’t need than to actually get your ass up and work on improving your health

      Yeah. Kick the competition out. It’s not about being greener or less green. It’s all about money. They just want it all for themselves.

      It’s the same strategy like Musk saying that lithium battery EVs are the only way to go and any other ICE alternatives are crap.

      it’s good that Sven is only one person and not an entire country. let’s hope he’ll be quickly forgotten and the Germans elect someone with at least a single working brain cell instead.

      Good for Germany to finally stand up and expose the nuclear thing as bullshit.

      Renewables are cleaner and Europe won‘t be depending on foreign countries for their energy.

      Absolutely baffling how brainwashed people in this sub are.

      If Germany only wants renewables and gas/coal let them. But don’t spread the ideology to countries who value nuclear and prioritizes lower emissions and a stable grid.

      Nuclear is the only way, especially in the EU west where we lack the sunlight for solar year round. And especially with the massive increases in energy demand in the pipeline as a result of required compute for AI and other technological innovation.

      Its also an easy segway investment to continue pushing towards fusion, which is basically the energy equivalent of god-hood. Being an expert in solar or wind doesn’t provide that same luxury.

      And yes, whilst it produces nuclear waste, it’s no more guilty than other renewables that rely massively on metals and components mined and built with slave labor.

      We have to get out of our own way, with all the red tape and overthinking.
