Germany should build as many nuclear plants as possible, Fatih Birol proclaims.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s admission that Germany’s nuclear phase-out was a “serious strategic mistake” has won an emphatic endorsement from Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency. In an interview with Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is part, Birol said he was “very pleased” to hear Merz’s words. To him, the chancellor’s self-critique is a signal that German energy policy may be heading in “a safer and more sensible direction.”
They are decommissioned, it’s done, over, out, never going to happen again.
Every modern build project is over time and massively over budget. No company is going to build a reactor without truckloads of government subsidies and guaranteed prices for electricity, making the whole “cheap and green energy” argument irrelevant. We have better options now. It’s just another attempt to derail the push for renewables.
This is normal for all major engineering projects.
We need all the clean energy we can get to meet demand. Saying “we have enough energy options” just shows your ignorance on the matter.
Well, then maybe we should be honest to each other and just accept that it’s not going to be commercially viable?
Oh, don’t even start with this “clean nuclear” gas lighting.
You are ignorant.
