    What happens when you reject clean nuclear power? You burn coal.

    Germany has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent until 2020, and to halving emissions from energy production by 2030.

    Experts warn there is only one way to reach these targets: moving from fossil fuels to renewable energies.

    But in Germany, the mining company RWE is planning the expansion of some of Europe's biggest coal mines - Garzweiler and Hambach.

    Lignite, also called brown coal, is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels with relation to carbon dioxide emissions. And mining company RWE is Europe's largest CO2 emitter.

    Next to the Garzweiler lignite mine, activists have been occupying an ancient forest that is soon to be cut down for the Hambach mine expansion.

    I know, this time the nuke industry is being honest and we can trust them. They do not care about the trillion dollar industry and enormous profits.
    How long and how much do you think it will take and cost to attempt to (and never have the power we need) to put up all those alternative energy sources? Make sure you include all the environmental impacts they would have. Now would be good.

    Reason #3; they moronically believe that ancient past technology like wind and solar can power a modern economy. Nothing could be further from reality or the truth.

    They are still confounded on how to power a Boeing 747 using solar.

    Three reasons we don't need nuclear.
    Even Germany is closing all its nuclear plants because they're too dangerous and renewables are cheaper and safer.
    The real reason:

    So it's not surprising that Conservative lackeys on the internet would push pro-Russia policies.
