Nuclear - future for Ireland?

Fukisha has zero relevance to the European industry for a long list of reasons🙄

Nonsense

An epic testament to the stupidity of the German anti-nuclear green movement and the politicians who have enabled them.

The hubris of more CO2 free energy being produced than from any other source, excepting hydro. Nuclear was green for decades before the first commercial wind turbine or solar array was even numbers in some engineers spread sheet.

The French reactors were taken offline for some maintainance after 30 years of producing power reliably. 28 years is the complete life expectancy of a wind farm, and those stupid things require a prodigious amount of maintainance that costs 1.2 - 1.4c per KWh generated.

Your constatnt squawking about a 30 year maintainance issue in France is like you calling my Honda Civic unreliable and expensive to maintain and operate because for 3 hours out of 16 years it was in a garage having €700 worth of repairs done.

Japan: You really don't give a toss about CO2. The reason Japan didn't restart it's nuclear power plants was that it replaced their output using gas, because it was just so cheap - until it wasn't.

Japan shut it's nuclear plants for political, not technical reasons. Turning them back on is more of a political than technical issue.

No doubt with your technical logic, my Honda breaks down irretrievably, ever time I switch off the ignition.

Absolute nonsense graph. Here’s a tv from 1990 and here’s my TV today. Look how much better this newer piece of technology is performing today. I wonder is it to do with the technological advancements over a 33 year period. Hmmmmm

How would a death occur from air pollution or accidents with regard to Solar?

Short of being hit by the truck delivering the panels.

How much is France on the hook for to decommission all those EOL nuclear plants ?

Why can't nuclear providers secure commercial insurance ?

What this supposedly CO2 concerned individual is celebrating is the Germans retiring 20% of their energy infrastructure, that's been zero CO2 since before that was a term, and replacing it with CO2 producing gas and coal usage. So instead of using zero CO2 renewables to retire CO2 producing energy sources, those brilliant German Greens have forced them to replace one zero CO2 power source with another, instead of using it to hugely reduce their CO2 output. It's just a coincidence that former german chancellor, Gerhard Schroder, the facilitator of the anti-nuclear movement, has been rewarded with a Gazprom directorship and the massive salary that goes with that.

This is something to celebrate and cheer by Irish nuclear chicken littles.

There afraid of one of those ancient plants going bang. All of the installed nuclear in Germany is bang up against major population centres.

But the strategy is leading to overall emissions reductions which will continue to increase over the coming decades.

They will not reverse course and start building new nuclear because they understand it could not help them meet their strategic objectives.
