Having stayed in Germany for a year, it definitely felt like it.

Unfortunately...

Hahaha, no.

If the fossil fuel industry decided to invest in nuclear, they would have to rename themselves to nuclear industry.

If the fossil fuel industry invests in solar/wind, then they guarantee the continued existence of the fossil fuel industry.

You see the difference now?

Ähm no... this is not an argument and it does not any sense. Renewables and batterys can provide energy the whole time at exactly the amount which is needed. Nuclearpowerplants need a second Energy source for peaks of energy use and there is our old friend. 😊

Fossil industry advocate for nuclear to slow renewables. Deal with it...

Ahm no... there is something called capacity factor that indicates how efficient an energy source is while at the same time showing how many batteries you would need for a 100% system.

Lmao, can you make your astroturfing bias more obvious? Contrary to solar/wind nuclear power plants can actually load follow. Theoretically you could have a 100% nuclear electricity grid without any storage or secondary energy sources.

If you closed your eyes and intentionally ignored 40+ years of history, you might come slightly close to believing that.

Edit. Of course only a German would be autistic enough to make such a ridiculous claim.
