good call i guess. green lobby has been a bit too strong lately, and while solar/wind/hydro might be the long term solution, for the next few decades nuclear could be the best solution while we fully transition to renewables
Im pro-nuclear. Its clean and efficient, plus we had the advantage of not dealing with earthquakes like Japan for example, especially more on the northern side of the continent. There’s a level of scientific research that comes with it that id like to keep and develop in Europe, never really got the decision of closing them. Italy is by the way prohibited to build a nuclear power plant due to a decades old referendum, which got repeated ~13 years ago.
I’m not against wind or solar either, all have their place. To me it sounds rational to have a diverse infrastructure.
I once heard a calculation of how many wind turbines you need and how many square kilometres they take versus the output of one nuclear power plant, the difference was quite shocking. Quickly fact checked it with AI: on average you need 300km2 of wind turbines to have to output of one power plant, but keep in mind it takes average sizes of the plants and turbines now so it’s not precise, but good enough to understand the differences.
