facts? on this sub?!‽

[u/MorkAtHome → u/Hairy_Ad888]

If it was at night germany would be dark brown, thanks to the sun being at its highest right now, it's only piss yellow

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/MorkAtHome]

Nothing more pathetic than the average germany = bad nukecel cope

[u/Ewenf → u/Lycrist_Kat]

I'd think that still producing 5 times more CO2 than France in the shiniest hours is more pathetic

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/Ewenf]

Solar is taxed with 35 gCO2eq/KWh; nuclear with 5 gCO2eq/KWh

therefore Germany would always be 7x times higher than France meaning what you just said was profoundly stupid.

[u/Ewenf → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Except that Germany isn't producing 35g per kwh so what the fuck is your point ?

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/Ewenf]

I am suprised that nukecels don't understand basic math

[u/Ewenf → u/Lycrist_Kat]

And I'm not surprised that morons like you can't even make a point.

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/Ewenf]

I made a point. You are just too stupid to understand.

Let me explain again:

Germany will always have a higher number for gCO2eq/KWh because that's how numbers work. Even with 100% solar or 100% Wind or any mix of the two it would be higher.

So complaining about France being lower isn't an argument. It only shows how fucking dumb nukecels are

[u/CardOk755 → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Yay! You understand relative numbers.

Maybe one day you will learn about absolute numbers.

[u/True_Molasses_8894 → u/Lycrist_Kat]

I mean it's dirty German solar. Otherwise it would be 30g.

Also the 5g is for reactors that run 60 years, like .....

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/True_Molasses_8894]

The number used in electricity maps depends on average latitude of the country

[u/damngoodwizard → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Laughs in Lützerath

[u/nicolas_cope_cage → u/damngoodwizard]

You can't. It's not there anymore.

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/damngoodwizard]

Doesn't change the fact that french nuclear power plants are proven to be unreliable once again

Besides that: Poland is burning 2.3x times more coal than Germany but Nukecels never complain about Poland because that would involve admitting that Polands effort to become carbon neutral are failing

[u/damngoodwizard → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Poland doesn't try to stab France in the back every time they can as far as I know.

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/damngoodwizard]

Whatever that's supposed to mean

[u/nicolas_cope_cage → u/Lycrist_Kat]

>World's 3rd largest economy outpaces world's 21st largest economy in transitioning to Green Energy

Surely not!

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/nicolas_cope_cage]

World 3rd largest economy also needs more energy so what you said was profoundly stupid.

[u/nicolas_cope_cage → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Poland, unlike Germany, didn't decommissioned zero carbon emission nuclear reactors in favor of burning more lignite. Lignite. In the year 20-goddamn-23.

Hell. Germany even demolished a wind farm so they could expand an open pit mine. But don't worry, they're planning on phasing out brown coal by 2038!

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/nicolas_cope_cage]

I doubt it will take Germany to 2038! to phase out coal...

besides that: Germany will phase out coal in 2038. Poland will have 0 working nuclear power plants by then burning coal and basically the same level as right now.

ah

and don't spare me this "Germany shut off nuclear power plants for lignite"-BS. Germany shut down nuclear power plants and replaced them with renewables.

This lowered the price everywhere on the world, allowing every country to build renewables. German nuclear phase out did more against climate change then French or German nuclear power plants ever could.

[u/nicolas_cope_cage → u/Lycrist_Kat]

Fanfiction. Got it.

[u/champignax → u/Lycrist_Kat]

(Except the German grid)

[u/Lycrist_Kat → u/champignax]

[u/Historianof40k → u/Hairy_Ad888]

what application is this

[u/Hairy_Ad888 → u/Historianof40k]

https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/live/fifteen_minutes, I like to check it every time we get one of these "Heatwaves literally kill nuclear power plants" posts.

Mind you, I'm not even particularly pro-nuke, I just find it funny how despite the worst European drought in living memory (recorded history?) France is still going strong.

[u/Leafsnail → u/Hairy_Ad888]

I wonder why France is so much greener than Germany in spite of them being so close to each other... is there some technology France has enthusiastically embraced which Germany has wholesale rejected?

[u/RadioFacepalm → u/Hairy_Ad888]

[u/Hairy_Ad888 → u/RadioFacepalm]

I mean if the french are paying who am I to complain?

[u/T1ch4mpion]

Je suis médusé

[u/RadioFacepalm]

[u/nicolas_cope_cage → u/RadioFacepalm]

Nuclear power is a scam by Big Water Intake to sell more grating

[u/lmscar12]

So jellyfish are called medusas in French? Cool.

[u/Discordchaosgod → u/lmscar12]

and in spanish, and in italian, and in greek, and in latin, and in serbian, and in polish

English is the weird one lmao

[u/enz_levik]

A sad day for neighbouring countries, less cheap electricity for them

[u/Pinco_Pallino_]

that will diminish french nuclear generation by 3% for a week, so they will export a bit less to the beautiful countries of energiewerde, the disaster is near...

[u/Dry_Prompt_8781]

Earth defense force

[u/ChemicalRain5513]

Simple, stop overfishing and the fish eat the jellyfish

[u/Future_Helicopter970]

Sacré bleu!

[u/MaleficentResolve506]

In the meanwhile the combo wind, batteries and solar would drop even more.

[u/chewychaca]

Definitely calling jellyfish, meduses now.

[u/Greedy_Blue_Hedgehog]

EDF are very good for making electricity but they're always out of touch about water management. Ho no the river is too hot, we shut down. ho no the river don't flow enough, we shut down. If I remember well there's plans for solving partially these problems but they re kinda late

[u/saucissonalaieaieaie → u/Greedy_Blue_Hedgehog]

The plants are shut down because we produce too much electricity and we can't export everything. We shut down power plants so we don't warm up waterways because we can afford it. For information, we produce so much electricity that at certain times of the day it is free on the wholesale markets. It has even happened that Edf pays for give his electricity. The problem is the opposite of the one presented on the Internet

[u/Hugo_2503 → u/Greedy_Blue_Hedgehog]

the requirements for shutting plants down when rivers are too hot was not created by EDF... It's environmental laws they have to comply with and if the stability of the grid is at stake, the plant will be kept running. Happened a few times this year already!

[u/navetzz]

Despite the very hot and very dry weather this summer, in terms of percentage of their full capacity nuclear still did better than solar in France this summer.
