This afternoon, 3:00 pm Paris time, French electricity is running at 55 g CO2/kwh.

8. And the point is what?

It is typical of anti-nukes that they are scrupulously indifferent to the FACT that the German coal being burned today is killing people, since air pollution kills seven million people per year.

18,000 people died today from air pollution of the type today the Germans felt completely free to release because the wind wasn't blowing.

Was anyone injured by the shutdown of the nuclear plants, other than the coal burned in lieu of their operation by the Germans, or is it yet another case where paranoid people emphasize could over is? "Is" as in "Air pollution is killing people continuously.

The German wind industry was operating at less than 3% capacity utilization this afternoon, and Germany was adding to air pollution, which kills people continuously, and yet we have to hear about cracks in two nuclear plants.

Every fucking wind turbine on this planet spits out microplastics from cracks, before they turn to rot on average in less than 20 years.

Today, Germany, because the wind industry is unreliable, chose to dump dangerous fossil fuel waste - irretrievable and impossible to contain - because it embraced the lie that nuclear energy is "too dangerous" and climate change and dangerous fossil fuel waste are not "too dangerous."

This should be clear to any thinking ethical person on the planet, and yet, somehow, in defiance of reason and decency, it isn't.

Let me repeat that another way: The ethics of anti-nukes should disgust any decent human being.
