"German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that the plan “combines independence, affordability and climate protection…It is not just extreme weather events around the world that demonstrate how urgently we need to do more to protect the climate,” he said. “If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz determines whether people can still afford their daily commute to work, that is not a good state of affairs.”
If there’s been an upside to the Middle East War, it’s that it’s been a giant advertisement for renewable energy. Not just cheaper, cleaner, & better, crucially it means energy-independence, too.
Smart move by Germany. Their industrial and manufacturing base is getting clobbered by China because they stuck with the dying fossil fuel paradigm for too long. Every other EU nation has committed to ending fossil fuel use, hopefully this further accelerates their efforts, too.
Should’ve used UNLIMITED POWER (nuclear)
The ironing is delicious.

And I thought the NUCLEAR trollbots couldn’t get any dumber. I was wrong
Nuclear is a great option. But we’re too stupid as a species to just do it. We’ve also proven that we will bomb nuclear power plants to bits, which is such an idiotic thing to do.
Yeah, it’s the absolute best option!!!1!! We just need to store the waste safely for longer than our species exists - but that absolutely no problem!!!1! Just chant “NUCLEAR NUCLEAR!!” and tear down the bird killing windmills before they cause cancer in you.
/s ffs
You clearly don’t know anything about how nuclear works. You could power everything in your life until the day you die for waste the size of a coke can.
And I didn’t say anything about wind power. You specifically mentioned nuclear, so that’s what I’m talking about.
