    Nuclear plants are uneconomical and produce nuclear trash we dont have the storage for. It was the best decision we could do shutting them down. Lemmy and reddit are so far into nuclear power propaganda they dont even see the actual mistake we made. It was not to shut down nuclear. It was stopping investing in our very successful solar tech.

      produce nuclear trash

      If by “trash” you mean “free energy”.

      we dont have the storage for

      Dig hole -> put stuff in hole -> cover hole -> wait a few years -> dig stuff out of hole and use in newer, more efficient reactors

      in our very successful solar tech.

      You mean the solar tech that requires rare earth minerals and causes untold damages in mining?

      I don’t think german engieneers are worse than russian ones in terms of extracting good stuff from “trash”.

      Yeah at a key moment. Why did they pull the plug? Germany was on track to be the world leading solar producer…
