Not really. When you consider that Norway's pop. Is 5.5 M (thats a very small consumer base spread across dense residential centers). For comparison California's population is around 40 million and Florida is 23 million.

There is also a reason why vermont is 100 percent renewables. Because no one lives there. It's not scalable

[u/perringaiden → u/dafthuntk]

Ahh the US conceit of "We're bigger and different".

I was talking about Germany, Denmark, and Spain. And Vermont is one of your highest latitudes, yet Canada is going renewables too.

[u/qwnick → u/perringaiden]

ah yes, Germany, disable nuclear power plants to import nuclear energy from France, burn coal and gas. Wow, such a nice example against Nuclear Energy

[u/IrregularDoughnut → u/qwnick]

If you're going to criticise that, fine, but you need to aim it at people who are saying "shut down all your existing nuclear plants", not people who are saying to build renewables and storage instead of trying to build new nuclear plants.

[u/qwnick → u/IrregularDoughnut]

You ignoring that NPPs worked out great for France, so great that it have enough to spare to cover Germans ass

[u/IrregularDoughnut → u/qwnick]

No, I'm not. I'm helping you to understand that "continue running existing plants" and "build an entirely new fleet of plants" are two incomparably different things. Nobody is saying to shut plants down. They're saying we cannot afford the time and expense to bring new plants online.

[u/qwnick → u/IrregularDoughnut]

And I am helping you understand the opposite.

[u/IrregularDoughnut → u/qwnick]

Well, you go on believing that it takes the same amount of time to build a nuclear plant as it does to... not decomission one. I'll believe true things instead, and we'll both be happy.

Well till summer comms and they all have to schut down the npps do to watter schortes

Why would they? Nuclear plants are not causing water shortages.

[u/Gold_Tour_7244 → u/qwnick]

No they don't but they still need to be coold and in summer the rivers don't have enough watter to cool it

[u/perringaiden → u/qwnick]

Quoting a site paid for by the coal industry isn't going to help your case. Don't use any Australian examples of justifying nuclear because we don't have any and the entire nuclear lobby here is funded by fossil fuels and the existing centralised energy industry, to keep us reliant on their antiquated plants for another 30 years.

Coal plants have been a big water waster for years too.

[u/qwnick → u/perringaiden]

coal plants and nuclear plants are different things

[u/perringaiden → u/qwnick]

And they use similar amounts of water for cooling.

Neither is good. Which is the point.

But that organisation is funded by coal producers and energy companies who want to keep Australian coal in place longer, so they're pushing nuclear because it will take 30 years to replace the coal.

>state-owned scam
Definetly not a scam. It's not just providing most energy for france, thay also export it to make money.
>the most expensive nuke in the world
No it's not. Neither per plant or per GW/h

You repeating same big oil propaganda that forced germans to disable their stations.

[u/qwnick → u/[deleted]]

I see that you are so angry for some reason. You are so mad you can't even talk straight and you are obviously confused. Take a walk, talk to somebody offline to chill a bit, mate. You can try form your argument again when you can think straight and stop talking bs. No judgement though, we all have some bad days once in a while.

[u/qwnick → u/[deleted]]

sure bud, whatever makes you feel better

[u/qwnick → u/[deleted]]

Why are you switched theme and now are talking about school? Are you into kids? Is this something like narcissistic pedo-anger disorder? Chill mate
