Hopefully Germany will follow next. It’s absurd that they rely on fossil fuel and coal when they can build modern nuclear plants that can provide stable energy for the energy heavy industries.

It would take 5-10 years to build the power plants and maybe with Chinese aid even faster

I don't think that nuclear projects of any size could pass current environmental impact assessments.

Only a severe energy shortage could motivate politicians enough to temporarily skip these, like they did for the LNG terminals. But you can't build a nuclear power plant of any size within a single legislative period so its just not going to happen.

No thank you, we will happily continue with our investment in wind, solar and battery storage.
