According to a 2024 article in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy, Germany could have saved hundreds of billions of euros and reduced its carbon emissions by as much as 70% by embracing nuclear energy rather than rejecting it.

Good job German Greens! Well done! 👏👏👏

They are like the right wingers: ideology over facts. I bet if the conservatives win in the next election, fuck some other parts of the country but manage to introduce nuclear again, the next green government will go about undoing nuclear, regardless of its benefits.

Basically, when the right-wing CDU started the phase-out

LMAO. Completely false:

In 2000, the First Schröder cabinet, consisting of the SPD and Alliance ‘90/The Greens, officially announced its intention to phase out the use of nuclear energy. The power plants in Stade and in Obrigheim were turned off on 14 November 2003, and 11 May 2005, respectively. The plants’ dismantling was scheduled to begin in 2007.

Fukushima forced the hand of the CDU afterwards.

It was a dumb idea in 2000, a dumber idea in 2011, and amongst the dumbest ideas during the war. Unfortunately, the anti-nuclear people shot us all in the foot with their “what about our children in 1000 years” crap. So concentrated on the far far future were they, that they ignored what impact it would have on the near and medium term. Sure, the children in 1000 years might not run into nuclear waste, but they’ll be living in a climate change wasteland. Good job!

Better fire all degree-holders right now.

Many of us actually posting have either too much time on our hands, care about something deeply, or don’t care that much and just want to troll. Throw that together into one pot and you get a lot of attacks. It doesn’t help that you don’t see the person and many people don’t understand how different communication is without body language.

So, yes, I think it’s easy to feel attacked. The harder part is not to attack and most of us fail that, which is why the web is often so toxic. Personally, I try to care less and block more. Someone calls you a braindead nincompoop? Either block and call them an idiot off-screen, or leave a snarky message and then block. At least that’s what I do, and I forget about what happened like 5 minutes later.

Being poor isn’t a failure. You had bad luck and didn’t have things in place to protect yourself, which was a mistake. Learn from it. You’ve been up there before and know the path to it. Try and do better and you might make it again.

I bet your son will remember more about how you being there for him than the failure - regardless of whether you’re poor or not in the future.

Glorious Chinese bike infrastructure. Officials should be seeing this as a reason to invest in it.

“As I sat in a restaurant eating my meal, I heard the owner criticising college students for having nothing else to do… I’m really sorry for affecting the people in Kaifeng,” the student wrote.

Gets customers, complains about customers.

@RedditWanderer “shouldn’t have been in Russia, lol”

I thought it was 51 million dollars, but it’s just 51$ ! What a reason to get thrown into jail for 12 years.

Saved up for a few years to go to a 5 star hotel resort (thank you COVID!) and when we finally went, goodness gracious was the experience so wildly different from a 3 or 4 star hotel. Felt completely out of place there right from our arrival.

We arrived as backpackers and walk to main gate where the gatekeeper was. He was shocked and stammered “You… you walked here?”. We were quite naive in thinking everybody did since there was foot path, but upon looking back, it was not paved or anything. Nearly every visitor had their own car and there was a shuttle to get you between the bungalows. We also got a welcome cocktail and complementary snacks on some tours. We found out that we didn’t even have to carry our own luggage anywhere and of course there was dry-cleaning but it was at max 20$ / item.

A great experience, but we’ll need another few years to save up for a similar experience.

Anarchists didn’t come up with that. It shit existed for nearly 20 centuries and might still exist in some places today.

You must be from the USA to misunderstand the separation of powers so badly.

The US has that, doesn’t it?

In some way, I can respect that absolute devotion that leads to complete disregard of even your own children.

Joining the EU? Would that have even been possible?

I mean, I think it would’ve been awesome to be able travel to Russia without a VISA and just start working there…

The USA is going to bomb anybody who trades with Cuba?

ASML Holding, a Dutch company that supplies photolithography systems for the semiconductor industry

You’re one search away from the truth, my friend

I wouldn’t have let them take a picture of me, let alone know in which city in France I’m in. Didn’t the Russians kill the deserter who gave Ukraine a helicopter? He was in South America and they still got to him.

Why won’t the rest of the world just ignore the blockade together?

USA is the only country with TRUE FREEDOM! /s
