I wonder if they would ever reconsider what they did for the deactivation of nuclear power plants.

Because uranium appears out of thin air and it's not being extracted in politically volatile areas. Every Euro that's spent on a nuclear reactor is an euro that would be better spent on renewable energies.

That's true but couldn't that also be said for the rare earth metals used in batteries to power phones and EVs?

No energy production is perfect. Just good to look at the pros and cons.

I wonder if any of the nuclear bros on here ever consider, that jerking a fuel rod isn't always the best approach?

Seriously, every fucking time this comes up and every fucking time you guys show nothing but arrogance and ignorance, both usually weapons grade.

I don't understand the hostility. Germany made a conscious decision to turn off their nuclear power plants.

Facts are facts. Nuclear power is the 2nd safest power generation method per terawatt hour. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

Additionally there are ways to recycle nuclear fuel. Most often the arguments against nuclear are fueled by emotion and not fact based.

Possibly a German Green. They are hostile like that towards nuclear. Ironically that made the German Green Party effectively a coal party (they don't like to hear that).

Every single statement you've written is false.
