In 2021, the Grohnde nuclear power plant in Lower Saxony on the Weser River was shut down. Now, immediately next to it, the Emmerthal energy cluster is growing with three very large battery storage systems, ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, and a new substation for several 380-kilovolt high-voltage lines.
This is exactly my point.
If you line up all the fossil fuel powerplants, then nuclear should be the very last one to be closed in favour of renewables, and lignite is in the top 3.
Germany did the reverse, and even built more gas plants when the first phaseout of nuclear happened.
Apparently lobbying is running deep in Germany…
We’ll get to a cleaner world - hopefully, eventually.
