      It's making fun of Germany shutting down nuclear plants and then making up the difference with coal and other worse polluting options

      Setting aside the usual discourse around STARTING to use a nuke plant: shutting one down to be replaced with coal or similar is objectively the bad environmental move

        surly the solution is green energy sources and cutback on energy consumption and not nuclear.

        Because

        1. it takes 10-20 years to build a nuclear powerplant, so it doesnt solve anything today.
        2. it cant be run profitable unless the taxpayer pays for the construction and the deconstruction and the disposal of the waste,
        3. it needs a huge amount of river water for cooling which is not safe for climate catastrophe, because the rivers dry up at least temporarily, e.g. france

      Nuclear is hundreds of times safer, cleaner, and more efficient than coal. Coal kills around 350 times more people per terawatt hour.
