Great then that the alternative is renewables without the negative side effects of either fossil fuels or nuclear!
So if you believe Bonhoeffer, then it can be argued armchair intellectuals have an obligation to not be stupid. And perhaps Germany and France should fine the stupid, or possibly put them in prison.
Which one is it?
Carbon dioxide or water vapor?
BTW your argument is based on the same perfect world where things like Fukushima don't happen. Germany already has a problem with it's existing nuclear waste and is far from solving it.
yes
> where things like Fukushima don't happen
When Germany is hit by a Tsunami hit me up I'l pay you a beer
For every nuclear related death you have hundred thousands of coal related deaths, it's that simple. The potential, yet highly low probability, big boom scares you more than the inevitable slow death that's all, it's purely irrational
I meant an nuclear accident not a tsunami. Just like Fukushima was hit by a catastrophe bigger than expected the same could happen in Germany. Maybe a plane crash, none of the existing power plants is germany is build to withstand one.
And who said about coal instead of nuclear? Coal is used because german politicians intentionally blocked wind and solar power.
I‘ve not been able to find a source to back up this claim.
There's no big boom possible with nuclear energy either.
Just like people (ie armchairs ecologists) protested in France against the preemptive cutting and burning of small parts of forests to prevent fires, they won, two days ago the entire forest burned. To save a few hundred trees they sacrificed the whole forest.
Germans don't like nuclear because "what if Fukishima happens in Germany", so instead they gas themselves with coal/gas fumes which are thousands of time worse in every single aspects, there is no "big boom" possible with gas/coal, it's a slow suffocating death, which apparently is not as scary
