Well I mean if you take a look at Flamanville Block 3. If you call that a smooth an unproblematic construction… They startet in 2007 wanted to produce energy in 2012 for the construction cost of 3.3 bn Euro. It’s still not connected to the network, though it’s sceduled for the end of the year and construction cost went up to 13.2bn (EDF) or 19bn (Cour des comptes) whoever you want to believe there.
That is what I was talking about, France is the most experienced country in Europe concerning Nuclear energy and have serious problems with it. If you want to blame it on European regulations, be my guest.

Depends on where you live, Germany that gets the beating for phasing or nuclear is so densely populated that these remote areas hardly exist!
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 days ago:
That’s a crazy oversimplification almost all German party’s had a part in the phase out and shut down of German nuclear energy. To point at the Greens and say it was them, is a right wing talking point pushed by Springer media.
If there was a way to make good money with nuclear we would have it all around to say a grass roots movement was able to push this through is laughable, if we look how everything else works in this world. While surely way better to handle securely it’s simply not easy to build and operate. Just look at all the plants currently under construction in Europe they all struggle to get finished take years to decades longer then planned and are way more expensive to build then initially estimated. Why is France struggling so hard when they have a population that is definitely way more open minded towards nuclear?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
Well if we had no alternative I would agree with you and I would be okay if we had to subsidize nuclear (which isn’t emissions free due to the mining and refining of uranium bye the way). But if a country like France, which has a pretty high rate of acceptance regarding nuclear, can’t get it to work, who will? Apart from maybe authoritarian countries. Just think about the amount of plants we have to build to create a significant impact, if hardly any plant has been built in a relative short timeframe. I’d say put money in research yeah but focus on renewable, network, storage and efficiency optimization for now.

Sometimes it’s documented but often I’d say it’s a selling technique that works for any big infrastructure project. You give a rather low first cost projection, governments decide let’s do this and after a while you correct the price up. First, people say: well that is to be expected the project shouldn’t fail because of a little price hike. Then the price gets corrected again and then the sunken cost fallacy kicks in. now we are to deep in and we have to pull through. And so on. And you probably can’t get price guarantees for such big projects cause no one would make a bid. It’s a very flawed system. I’d like to know how often solar or windpark projects get price adjusted?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
But it’s not done well. Just look at the new built plants, which are way over budget and take way longer to build then expected. Like the two units in Georgia that went from estimated 14bn to finally 34bn $. In France who are really experienced with nuclear, they began building their latest plant in 2007 and it’s still not operational, also it went from 3.3bn to 13.2bn €. Or look at the way Hinkley Point C in the UK is getting developed. What a shit show: from estimated 18bn£ to now 47bn£ and a day where it starts producing energy not in sight.

That is nothing new they always did this with cinemas and DVD/Blu rays too. You wanted to do a screening of the jungle book? You can’t. You want to buy a box of your favorite movies, out of stock to create an artificial scarcity and demand for the Christmas season.

Reminds me of a past mayor of the city I live in. One of his talking points was too get rid of the speeding cameras in the city. He came into office and did a photo op covering the first camera. A few weeks later his son died due to an accident caused by wreckless speeding driver in City center.

The greed goes deep. It’s funny that micro transactions hardly ever were micro. If it’s was a few cents for a pure cosmetic item I might even do that from time to time, but take the discord cosmetics 50ct I might buy sth blinky, but they want 5-10€ for that shit

The impact on nature goes beyond climate gases. At least here in Germany fireworks produce 1% of the yearly pm10 particulates. That’s not nothing.
- Comment on Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity? 5 months ago:
Yes, the problem to me is manly the feeling (or fact) that we are running into an existential crisis that can and probably will decimate large amounts of the global population and instead of pulling together, people are running into the arms of demagogues and extremists that tell them we are great it’s the others that are bad and we don’t have to change anything about our way of life. Plus every other nation claims little islands or other countries areas… we won’t get anywhere if this won’t change

That might be true I’m not well versed in EU law or any law for that matter, can you give some examples where you think that is the case?
When I think of EU laws that caught my attention it often was something that felt positive to me:
EU wide roaming Travelers rights Anti trust/privacy protection Usb-c charging

I’d say most of the time it’s an age thing the younger we are the easier impressed/amazed we are. growing older makes us sometimes cynical sometimes overloaded with imagery. The more you’ve seen the harder it gets to be impressed by stuff, cause you have seen so much. And we keep fond memories of the things we liked as kids and teenagers.
