A study found that if Germany had postponed its nuclear phase-out and phased out coal instead, it could have saved 1,100 lives a year and avoided $12 billion in social costs.

Green energy. I wonder how often this happens.

I really still feel like the organisations and individuals who ran the "gas is a transition fuel!!" lines should really seem to be facing some scrutiny for severely worsening exposure to the current crippling fossil fuel price crisis.

Here's the thing: Opposing nuclear while fighting climate change means continued energy poverty for the 2B+ that use less power than a fridge does.
It means women and girls spend more time gathering wood and washing clothes than getting an education and pursuing their dreams.

54 Billion in grid upgrades necessary to accomodate wind power in the UK. I bet that didn't make it into the LCOE calculations. We are being fleeced.

In nations with little hydroelectric potential, Wind & Solar REQUIRE a 100% Fossil Gas energy system to make them work, pushing vastly cleaner nuclear energy out of the way.
Wind & Solar have never been proven to decarbonise.
Only Hydro, Geothermal & Nuclear have.

Because of the high costs to simply turn off renewables, the actual clean electricity had to be turned off and instead replaced with fossil gas, to the determent of the environment, bill payers and our national security.
THIS is why Nuclear wins.

In 2020 TG2 at Sizewell B (5g CO2 per kWh) was shut down to allow for more Fossil Gas (490g CO2) onto the grid to balance high renewable output (11-49g CO2), and low demand, preventing overloading and blackouts.
The price to turn off wind was too high.
