By setting up the conversation as Nuclear vs Renewables, you are ignoring fossil fuels which is the purpose of anti-nuclear posts to begin with. Right now Germany, your government, turned off nuclear plants and turned coal plants back on which is 100% incorrect in all situations. If you are defending that action, or concern trolling using long debunked anti-nuclear talking points from the 70's you better at least be getting paid by the fossil fuel industry, otherwise you'd be better off in a gulag for reeducation rather the continuing to support the fossil fuel industry out of wanton ignorance.

    I’m ignoring fossil fuels because they’re obviously fucking terrible and both renewables and nuclear are an improvement over them, nobody questions that. The pro-nuclear lobby loves saying “it’s so much better than fossil fuels!” which is like explaining that a helicopter is faster than a car. Fossil fuels aren’t the competition for nuclear, renewables are.

    I already discredited the “Germany swapped nuclear for coal!” argument in the other thread which I’m guessing you already found since you’re claiming I’m German, for some reason. It’s not really an honest claim.

    Obviously, it’s bad that Germany is using coal, and nuclear would be better. You’ll get no argument from me about that. But when it comes to building new power plants there’s no good reason to use nuclear.
