You can’t just build a hotel in a residential area, that usually goes against zoning laws which Airbnb circumvents

The shadows are on the move. The question is not how do we stop them, the question is what do we want?

Ah, there it is: the one joke Americans are able to make when talking about Germany.

Thanks for fulfilling the quota, I was worried Nazis won’t be mentioned once. Thank you for your service 🫡

I was against shutting down already written off power plants early while coal power plants were still running. I was in favor of shutting down coal first, yes.

Geothermal energy is possible anywhere but not economical everywhere. Building wind and PV and building infrastructure to save the energy is more economical in many cases.

it’s okay in some amounts since you’re getting radiation doses every day even not living near anything nuclear).

And people get cancer every day. I don’t share their argument that NPPs in normal operation are a risk, but OP is somewhat right, there’s no safe radiation dose, just one we deem safe enough mainly because it doesn’t significantly raise our risk of cancer compared to the natural exposure. And NPPs in normal operation emit less radiation than for example coal fire plants.

FFS, people are stupid.

There was a huge hysteria about nuclear when Fukushima happened. A clear majority was for immediate action. Merkel’s coalition government would have ended if she hadn’t done a 180 on nuclear and decided to shut down nuclear as soon as possible, which was 2023. I was against shutting it down back then but I thought you can’t go against the whole population, so I get why they did it. People didn’t change their mind until 2022. Nobody talked about reversing that decision in all these years when there was actually time to reverse the decision.

Now, that the last reactor is shut down, the same people that were up in arms in 2011 are now up in arms that we don’t have nuclear. Building new plants will cost billions and take decades and nuclear doesn’t work well with renewables because of its inflexibility. It makes no sense at all. It was a long-term decision we can’t just back away from. What’s done is done.

Well, it’s not broccoli

Danish kids are also usually not being shot at at school

Who said Vance believes this?

To be fair, after reading his Signal messages: that guy really seems to swallow up his own propaganda, he really seems to be that stupid. Doesn’t mean, the overall government strategy isn’t exactly as described, could just be that Shady Vance is not in on the joke or he also needed to pretend for some others in that chat

Well, duh? Who do you think doesn’t know that?

Just went back to that thread. The discussion continued for 4 more hours after I stopped responding, and no, it did not go anywhere. That was definitely worth everyone’s time

Me, yesterday
