@tomriley5790 Russia needed the money + the dependency made Germany ever so understanding of Russian points of view. It was really just a continuation of a long-term strategy of the Soviet Union.

Perhaps you should learn some more (very basic) science?

@josephgoldmacher8214 solar panels can generally work a lot longer than 20 years. It’s probably more like 50 years (with somewhat reduced efficiency). We agree that nuclear is good and the “greens” are evil but let’s not hurt our case with bad arguments.

A slumlord, a villa collector, a slave owner, a fairly decent consul in unusually difficult times — and a fantastic writer. Read some of his letters!

@thomasfsan why did you ruin a perfectly good comment with that last dumb sentence?

@milkenjoyer14 there will always be a cluster of something somewhere at some point. Especially if you are casting a really wide net regarding what exactly you mean by “cluster” and “something”…

“Cut bono?” is shorter + it’s actually from Cicero and therefore much better (than Seneca).

Methane is less clean if we leak it instead of burning it. Do you trust the Russians to not have massive leaks from well through pipeline to the German consumer?

@fwiffo I think you should do some number crunching! How much energy can we store? A few minutes worth of production/use? A few hours? At what cost? That you include flywheels and gravity wells tells me that you haven’t done any numbers at all.

Germany is not Iceland, you know. Iceland doesn’t need to drill deep. Germany would need to drill very deep. We don’t really have the tech to do that, let alone the tech to do it economically.

One of the grocery chains In Denmark is currently almost bankrupt due to a surplus of Democratic structures! Perhaps we should export them to other countries?

Yeah, it’s gotta be an organized campaign. The questions are whether it’s “green” or Russian and whether it’s bots or real (dumb) people. I have reported you for misinformation, of course.

@cyrix4210 looks like someone censored @thomasfan’s comment. It was probably good.

There are so many practically identical comments like this, all in German, that some “green” or Russian misinformation campaign must be behind them all. I wonder how many of the accounts are even real…

She pronounced it almost the way it is pronounced in German but with an English diphthong for the -o at the end. C’s before vowels are often pronounced “ts” in German.

It could have been done in a year or two, actually. (Weird how you pretend the “greens” are the good guys that had nothing to do with the 2011 decision and the ones before that and also magnanimously allowed a 3-month extension. Aren’t the “greens” great!)

She had a condition called “populism” and Germany suffered under it. She knew perfectly well that both decisions were stupid — “Multi-Kulti is gescheidert”, you know. Alas, the chose treason over reason.

You actually (very!) occasionally do. I looked it up when I heard Ursula von der Leyen make the same “mistake” after she was picked as presumptive future Commission President in 2019. The pronunciation without the ‘i’ is vastly preferred, of course.

Regarding the slowness… a lot can happen really fast if there is political will. A good German example is the construction of LNG terminals. Germany wasted years by slow walking the paper work and then Russia did something not even Germany could ignore and they were suddenly built almost overnight. If you look at the contents of a nuclear power plant, there is no reason why it should take more than a year to build. Two, if you are being extra slow and careful. The time it takes to build (most of which is wasted on paper work) dominates the construction cost. Cut down the time to something reasonable and suddenly it becomes much cheaper than solar-with-magic-free-storage!

Yet another bot account.

@heyho4770 uranium is cheap and can be bought from many friendly countries and many years of consumption can be bought in advance can be safely stored for many, many years. It is unlike oil, coal, and gas in the first and last respect … and in practice also in the middle respect.

It most certainly did not. I swore at Mommy Merkel as soon as I heard about her utterly dumb decision. Unfortunately, dumb people vote and Merkel was always a populist at heart.
