Germany faces a power crunch 🇩🇪 ⚡️
The nation isn’t adding green energy quick enough as it exits nuclear/coal
That means its ability to meet peak demand could shrink over the next 2 years, increasing risk of blackouts

If Germany would have spent $500B on nuclear, they could have built roughly 100GW of it, which would produce about 800 TWh of electricity a year.
Germany consumed 588TWh in 2021.
If they went nuclear they could have totally decarbonized and had extra juice for millions of EVs.
Germany pushed the snooze button on the global warming alarm clock.
It's burning 13% more coal since last year.
Coal is making a comeback & shows why spending nearly $500 billion on unreliable wind & solar power was a bad investment.

You could power the entire US electricity grid off of the energy in nuclear waste for almost 100 years. If you recycle the waste, the final waste that is left over decays to harmlessness within a few hundred years, rather than about 10,000 years as with standard (unrecycled)

RIP Hunterston B-1, which powered down for the last time yesterday. Along with its sister reactor B-2, it made almost 300 clean TWh over its lifetime. Assuming coal/biomass would have been burned without them, the plant saved about 5000 lives otherwise lost to air pollution.

And yeah, we should also be building TF out of reactors considering they require the least land, mining, and are historically the fastest to scale up.
