shutting down safe (in Germany) nuclear power plants before the end of their lifetime was a mistake
not planning new nuclear plants was in the in-between lands, to be decided by experts (I am not one) whether they would be needed for a transition to green energy
turning back on the “turning back” on nuclear fission(!) energy now would be an even bigger mistake
New plants are way to expensive. It’s non longer economical to build those.
It was never economical. Nuclear power was heavily subsidised for other reasons than electricity generation. Any country that runs a sizable nuclear industry for power generation does have the capability to develop a nuclear weapons programme in relatively short order. (Usually a matter of months)

This is false. Sweden does not have a nuclear programme and does have a sizeable nuclear energy sector.
Not politicans in general, but this person? Well deserved imo. Are you following for how much shit she is responsible? Alternatively psychopath would work.
You know, if you keep the discourse civil, people will start listening more to you. If you just spew hatred and insult people, nobody will listen to the point of your argument.
Nuclear seems like a good idea for the future - in cross ocean shipping. Sails have too many limitations and nobody has any ideas for what else could even work (at least not that I’ve seen, everything fails the sniff test). It has only been done in air craft carriers and submarines (and maybe ice breakers?) that I know of so this is more the only idea I can come up with that could work. It needs a lot of effort to make is work in the real world though.
No shit you monster.
I despise this corrupt monster so much.

It’s basically nuclear deterrent light.

Was that so hard? Backing out of the exit = planning new fission plants now - that would be bad. As you seem to agree in 2.
I said that because she’s a corrupt monster who is likely to come up with a “hey, let’s build more nuclear power plants” next.
Ah, OK. True. I just wasn’t sure which backing out referred to which
Do we really need to call politicians “monster” here?

Calling v.d.L. a psychopath is not an insult, it’s an observation of her personality.
Empirically untrue.

If(!) we get solid power supply going on dry land, maybe hydrogen & fuel cells…
