"At the heart of the Ukraine crisis lies a fundamental question about the nature of history and the nature of humanity: is change possible? Or are humans forever condemned to reenact past tragedies?"

Just how big of a clean energy resource is the 22.2 GW of nuclear capacity awaiting restart in Japan?
Assuming 80% availability the 23 reactors could supply 156 TWh in a yr.
That'd be >50% of Japan's coal generation in 2020 (298 TWh) or 44% of gas generation (354 TWh).

Nuclear ‘waste’ isn’t really waste. Spent nuclear fuel has about 95% of its energy remaining, which could be used in new #nuclear reactors arriving surprisingly soon. by @SteRoPo realclearscience.com/blog/20…

VACCINE RISK
Even if vaccines have not been around for long, the sample for the Covid vaccines is so yuuuuge that we can already see what risks they don't have & proceed by elimination.
This is not a precise estimation but the framework to work with.

Headline 1: “nuclear exit…Eneco will capture the CO2 of it’s future gas power plant”
Head line 2, six months later: “nuclear exit…Eneco no longer required to capture the CO2 of its future gas power plant”

De kernuitstap is crimineel. Ik heb er geen andere woorden voor. Een handvol dogmatische fanatici katapulteert onze natie een eeuw terug in de tijd. In plaats van atomen te splitsen gaan we opnieuw ouderwets vuurtjes stoken en molentjes bouwen om energie op te wekken. Waanzin.

De premier v Denemarken: “Mensen hebben de plicht bij te dragen en nuttig te zijn. Als ze geen regulier werk vinden, moeten ze werken voor hun uitkering. Te lang hebben we een groot aantal mensen een slechte dienst bewezen door hen niets op te leggen.” hln.be/nieuws/deense-regerin…

De kernuitstap is niet alleen een ramp voor milieu en klimaat (verdedigd door "groenen" die naam onwaardig), het is ook een grote strategische blunder: we leggen onszelf aan een infuus van autocratische en onderdrukkende regimes. Dank, @JonathanHolslag ! (in @demorgen)

Shutting down an amount of clean generation equal to all your current wind and solar and replacing it w/ natural gas seems like a pretty counterproductive move. If folks want to argue that climate change is a crisis, they should start treating it like one. nytimes.com/2021/04/12/nyreg…

It's been a bad couple of weeks for EU anti nuclear folks. 1) UNECE published a report outlining nuclear contribution to sustainable development 2) Norwegian greens have expressed support for the tech, 3) EU JRC has made case for nuclear to be included in taxonomy
