Germany shuts all of its nuclear plants – and is warned it will regret it

This just does not make any sense, Germany has an exemplary track record with nuclear energy yet the Left is never happy. The Germans will bitterly regret their decision to shut down nuclear power, this is a salutory lesson in pandering to Greens and loony Lefties, they are just insane for the most part.

Arm-waving propaganda about tiny amounts of ‘carbon’, i.e. vital carbon dioxide gas, in the atmosphere has led to this decision. One obvious problem being that wind and solar energy can’t be stockpiled, or accessed on demand, hence Germany’s newly increased dependence on coal power for its electricity.

Germany became only the third European country to shut off its nuclear power supply on Saturday when its final three reactors were severed from the grid for good, says The Daily Telegraph.
The end of German nuclear energy, a process begun by former chancellor Angela Merkel after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, came at the same time as the country seeks to wean itself off fossil fuels and manage an energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine.

A small crowd of pro-nuclear demonstrators turned out in front of the Brandenburg Gate on Saturday to protest the end of Germany’s nuclear era.

On the rain-drenched Pariser Platz, they watched a pantomime in which the sun and wind struggled to defeat men dressed as coal and gas until nuclear power came to the rescue.

Could this be a reason why:

Overall, renewables will have produced 46 percent of German power consumption in 2022 (up from 41% in 2021), UBA forecast. Germany saw the highest renewables share in electricity use to date in 2020 at 45.2 percent

Ground control to major moron!!

Germany is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels for domestic power production. In 2022, some 30 percent of gross electricity was generated using lignite and hard coal, considered the most polluting of energy sources. Natural gas contributed another 13 percent. Meanwhile, the combined share of renewables stood at roughly 44 percent, with wind power being the most prominent of Germany's renewable energy sources.
