Who is it that is alleging they were drug traffickers? It certainly wasn't a court of law

I think you are saying things that you want me to think, not what I actually think. I don't think you want a substantive or productive conversation so I'm gonna end it here

"A completely unqualified, inexperienced hack. But she has great hair. Did she have to let Trump grab her by the pussy to get the nomination?" What about this is directed at trump? I just think the way we talk about current events is important, And frankly I disagree that it's a losing battle

I mean I tend to believe that yes, this woman is more than likely unqualified, but if your going to critique someone, do it on their merits instead of stooping to MAGA's level

If any one of these headlines could've been time traveled to before the election, the GOP would've immediately denied it and called the left conspiracy theorists. Now they just say it outright

To answer your question, Yes

You see that big purple chunk pre-2011? Even if Germany built no new nuclear reactors after fukushima, and had just kept what it had, that would generate as much energy as Germany gets from burning coal today. Here's the full graph btw, you'll see that for decades nuclear was a clean power supply

Gavin @8rx.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

New reactors are certainly less competitive than other energy offerings like wind and solar, but old reactors that haven't reached expiration are very cheap to operate

All countries subsidize there energy sectors as it's a strategic way to gain energy independence, but even then Germany spends $10 billion more than France does

The "right thing" has resulted in expensive energy and dependence on Russian oil. Every day you can go and look at the difference between the countries that kept nuclear, and those that got rid of it. Germany is behind on energy because of this app.electricitymaps.com/map/72h/hourly

The better time to decommission nuclear would've been when they were set to expire, they are in fact losing out on money that could've been created from keeping these plants alive. Renewables being expensive at the time is all the more reason why the CDU shouldn't have folded to public pressure

100 1

But nuclear is still cheaper than coal, so why would Germany phase out nuclear if they then increased the burning of coal for energy?

210 2

Nuclear is only more expensive for NEW projects, maintaining older reactors with pre-existing infrastructure is very economical. And irregardless of renewables, there's a real discussion to be had about the effects of decommissioning nuclear. France's energy is half the cost for a reason

100 1

You brought up wanting to phase out coal, I'm saying that phasing out nuclear does the opposite of phasing out coal. This happens from an increase in the price of energy, which therefore creates an incentive for people to burn coal.

100 1

I'm of the opinion that decommissioning nuclear energy and phasing out coal are two opposing ideas. When you phase out nuclear, you increase the demand for energy relative to supply, increasing to incentive for burning coal. If you want to call me a liar again, tell me what it is I'm lying about

210 2

You're attacking me, not my argument

100 1

That's not what I'm saying. After Germany decommissioned nuclear, they started burning more coal to make up for the energy deficit, which is both more expensive and more deadly. Any situation where you find yourself decommissioning nuclear to burn coal is absurd

There's been a lot of new work in the area of recycling and vitrification, where they contain it in glass. Storage and containment really aren't as big of issues as made out to be. Considering nuclear is the least deadly form of energy, I think it's worth the trade off

If you think of the union of the ranges of these two sets of functions, one spans all of R and the other only spans {0} in the codomain. Hopefully this visualizes how data is lost

Putting any X in the input yields essentially the same function because the domain has no consequence on the output Thinking about this in R -> R it's like the difference between the set of maps sending 0 onto all the reals, and the set of all maps sending a real number to 0

110 1

It is not misinformation to say that a decrease in the energy supply while demand stays consistent will raise prices. Regardless of costs for the type of infrastructure you're describing, if nuclear hadn't been axed, energy would be cheaper. How much cheaper is out of the scope of my point

200 2

Well that doesn't explain why German electricity is so much more expensive than France's. Nuclear energy isn't competitive with solar anymore for _new_ projects, but choosing to dismantle perfectly fine sources of energy was a mistake

200 2

Even if there isn't a 'shortage', energy prices naturally go up when supply doesn't meet demand. The reason why France has cheap and stable electricity compared to Germany is because they never lost energy independence
