Germany's nuclear policy was and is massively wrong-headed and has only really led to a drop in investment and therefore a stagnation of development between old Gen II reactors and what we really should be running by now (Gen IV+).
This isn't massively critical now as we can load balance electricity against the hydrocarbons that we need for (and this is the important bit) mass transportation.
Germany's efforts to transition to green energy are laudable, but misguided. There is currently no replacement for hydrocarbons and transit, and the only way we can power an entire country's worth of cars and trucks by electricity is ... if we go nuclear.
There is physically and literally no alternative, and there likely won't be for 50 years, or without colonialising (either de facto or economical) North Africa.
Probably why your own country is (like many other countries) still farting around with Fusion.
Where incandescents are concerned, well that's pretty stupid statement in an of itself (India, for example, is rolling out mass-subsidisation for LED bulbs because, hey - less power stations), but furthermore.. http://news.mit.edu/2016/nanopho…
Given your diatribes here, I'm amazed that Britain ever managed to exist as an independent entity in the hundreds of years before EU membership - gosh knows what all those Victorian social values were, eh?
- You seem genuinely offended. No idea how you managed to take mekk's comments personally. Is Britain your downs syndrome brother or something?set
- I tried so hard not to post that. I don't want another setritus argument. Feel free to ignore me.set
- Fucking Setritus. Best thing I've come up with in years.set
- You prefer to view things in fairly polarised terms of personal offence, don't you set? Seems like a thread where you're concerned.detritus
- I'm simply trying to counter his points, with a bit of wryness where I can here and there. Nothing personal at all.detritus
- "You prefer to view things in fairly polarised terms of personal offence"
lol setritus of the dayset - Well, to be fair, I am sniffing at the hints of Germanic self-righteousness, but that's all fair in love and OHMYGOD DON'T MENTION THE WARdetritus
