Nuclear power is experiencing a real boom. There are currently 440 reactors in operation worldwide and 60 new ones are being built. This makes it all the more bizarre that the self-declared climate saviors from Germany, of all countries, have abandoned nuclear power and plunged their industry into a veritable recession. Coal-fired power generation is much greener, isn't it Robert Habeck? Neighboring France is now starting to expand its already strong nuclear power sector. Six new nuclear reactors are to be built in the years up to 2050 and the sector expects to create 100,000 jobs. France is mercilessly playing the climate protection card in front of German eyes and is investing in its nuclear power with the argument that it wants to reduce CO2 emissions. Germany, which currently imports energy from all possible sources, is being forced into dependency on France, which exports its cheap nuclear power to Germany, which has failed in other ways. As a result, the balance of power in the eurozone will continue to shift from Berlin to Paris. If we look at fiscal and monetary policy, we can deduce that the eurozone will be increasingly dominated by industrial policy interventionism, less free market economy and more bureaucracy.

The reluctance to adopt nuclear power is truly absurd.

It's a really effective tool, though, for showing people that the climate activists are not primarily trying to reduce emissions.

The German Green Party is at the service of forces other than the German sovereign. And every time (as in the Balkan war and now in Ukraine) it helps to fuel the conflicts. You have to keep looking in this direction.

I'm highly in favor of disconnecting Germany from the rest of the European grids and let them back when they've dealt with their own silly games.
Thanks Germany, for raising the electricity prices in other regions.. such as the Nordics!
