Germany’s energy crisis is self-inflicted: In 2006, 🇩🇪 nuclear energy generated 170 TWh of carbon-free 24/7 reliable power. By end of 2022, 🇩🇪 nuclear energy will be completely gone and replaced by carbon-emitting fossil fuels from 🇷🇺.
#Energiewende
is an environmental disaster.
JUST IN - Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Habeck (Green Party) urges German citizens to save energy, wants to enforce energy-saving measures by law "if necessary."

Did climate change write this? 🤡
Nuclear power itself will deliver virtually nothing to the climate emergency’s resolution.
The current enormous political lobby for nuclear energy leads to a diversion of attention and capital from urgent and effective climate measures and threatens to delay urgent climate

Thread on Germany's premature closure of its fuel-secured, carbon-free nuclear power plants and its growing dependency on Russian gas:
"Closing the 3 remaining reactors would increase Russian gas by ~30%. Reopening all the closed reactors would eliminate ALL Russian gas imports"
Since the Bucha massacre was made public, Germany has paid ~$1.5B in gas to Russia
Yet 🇩🇪 will still close its nuclear power plants in 2022. Why? I dug up the details. Not pretty.
The only conclusion is that 🇩🇪 would rather kill nuclear than fight Putin & defend Ukraine
