Eleven EU States Unite for Nuclear Power
Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia agreed “to support new projects” alongside existing nuclear plants, according to a statement released during a meeting of EU energy ministers in Stockholm.
Those are the eleven countries with their shit together. Anyone serious about Climate Change and moving away from fossil fuels, must be in favor of baseline nuclear power. Solar and wind power are not able to produce baseline power. Ever. There is not some breakthrough that is going to happen if we just cripple economies and force the issue.
Austria, Germany and Luxembourg reaffirmed their opposition in Stockholm to the development of nuclear energy in Europe.
For all of their technical acumen, Germany has a tendency to suspend their judgment and join the magical thinking parade.
In the US, we aren’t even talking about it. We tend to be overly optimistic and just assume that everything will work out. That works until it doesn’t.
