    France’s Naarea, a nuclear startup, has filed for a suspension of payments as a protective measure while it seeks new financing, indicating financial difficulties in the sector. This situation reflects broader challenges faced by the nuclear industry in France, which is undergoing significant changes and investments.

    I love how people act like german government is against nuclear. When the actual situation is the following:

    Reality:

    1. Yes, Nuclear is not popular with the German public and might not for good reasons
    2. The German nuclear power plants were planned to shutdown and weren’t maintained to continue to run for a long time.
    3. Continue to run the nuclear power plants would require a lot of investment
    4. Germany is and was moving towards renewable energies for independence of nuclear and Russian gas anyway.
    5. Building new nuclear power plants take years.
    6. Germany choose to invest in renewable energy instead.
    7. Germany doesn’t have mines for nuclear materials to run a nuclear power plant independently, unlike France.
    8. Germany has domestic coal. Germany has coal power plants. Germany can run coal power plants independently. That is important for the military.
    9. So germany chose a bit more coal short term; and coal and nuclear free future. Germany is literally uses less coal now than ever.

    So germany has been reducing nuclear, coal and natural gas power usage.

    I’m pretty sure kyle hill is getting paid by nuclear power companies. He’s constantly shilling

      Shilling? My brother in christ, it is quite literally the only way forward. Fossil fuels are killing us, and will continue to do so. Wind and solar just aren’t enough. Hydro and geo energies aren’t available everywhere.

      There is no shilling, there is only desperate pleading for us to pull our heads out of our asses and do something.

        Nuclear is not economically feasible and still does have its fair share of problems. It also generates waste, even if at far less scale than fossil fuels. Wind and solar are cheap and very scalable in most countries, which makes them economically feasible (and can also accelerate a move from fossil). Don’t be so quick to discard them.

        As a matter of fact, last month, in Spain, we generated more energy just from wind than from nuclear. (31.7% vs 21.4%) source

        Wind and solar just aren’t enough.

        Wind + solar + storage is both enough and beating nuclear at this point, and by the time the next nuclear power plant actually manages to get online, the calculation will be even further in favour of that mix, on account of the absolutely plummeting cost of storage, which is following the same trend as solar used to, with costs reductions >98%. Not to mention the built-in resilience you get from having a more widely distributed instead of having a few nodes producing the lion’s share of your power.

        I don’t have any ideological opposition to nuclear. If you manage to build it without massive subsidies and taking care of your waste, feel free to build them. That’s happening in exactly 0 places worldwide though.

        There’s no world where you could build more nuclear at the rate that would be required to fix things. It’s expensive as hell and there’s not enough skilled people to go around to build all of it globally.
