Nuclear turn green as EU parliament approves new taxonomy

It has nothing to do with science. OP is just parroting a meme circulating in a certain group of people who didn't realise that nuclear is gone and has been replaced by renewables years ago.

It goes with the meme that you glorify France while ignoring it's failures which are quite prominent these days just the same way he ignores the fact that the chancellor for the last 16 years was an actual physicist.

This is the level of debate we currently have again here in Germany.

This only works because Germany is still burning ungodly amount of coal, to fill the gaps when there is no wind or sun (about 60% of the time)

Is this the meme you're talking about?

Maybe sources are memes too? What happens if you take coal away from here:
