Germany to eliminate nuclear power

Britain is facing the same issues as its nuclear power plants age out. I communicate often with a Venezuelan who says blackouts really kill the economy and life very difficult, especially in this modern age. People and businesses are forced to buy generators that are much less efficient and more polluting.

And when the green police finally get their way we'll all be burning our furniture to keep warm.

"Germany plans to shut all nuclear reactors by 2022, Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling coalition announced on Monday,"

That was then, this is now:

—Germany plans to postpone the closure of the country’s last three nuclear power plants as it braces for a possible shortage of energy this winter after Russia throttled gas supplies to the country, said German government officials.

WSJ today: Japan is looking at more nuclear energy plants. They said in the wake of higher energy prices and Russian dominance in oil and natural gas prices, it is only smart to increase nuclear power plant production.

Funny how the left learners on this site avoid these truths like the plague.

The have greened themselves back to the stone age.

AHEM......remember nuclear fusion and it's genesis.....THAT is the answer.

AHEM

WHY r we (globally) behind the curve on this? WHY r we not concentrating our resources $$$$ and experts
to achieve this in an expeditious way?

"To achieve this, NIF researchers have been experimenting with the shape of the laser pulse to make it deliver more power near the beginning. In his 29 September memo, Moses says these improvements had led to alpha-particle heating that doubled the energy yield—"a clear demonstration of the mechanism that is needed to achieve ignition," he wrote. Ignition is the goal of a self-sustaining, alpha-heated fusion burn producing more energy than the laser put in. Moses also says the energy yield (carried by the neutrons and estimated at 14 kilojoules) was more than the x-ray energy absorbed to implode the capsule, a milestone he refers to as "scientific breakeven."

And today's stupid city council decisions: Crested Butte just voted to ban anymore natural gas taps on new construction. They would prefer commercial building and residential to use electricity to heat and cook with.

Don't they understand that their electric power is provided by natural gas and coal power plants? Plus restaurant chefs prefer cooking with gas versus electric ranges? Expect most of the new development in that county to be outside the Crested Butte city limits.
