8. If one believes this kind of nonsense, one merely needs to look at electricity prices in Germany and Denmark...

...in comparison to the rest of Europe.

Let's see if I can be of help:



Source: EU, Eurostat Electricity Prices (Accessed 01/10/26)

The big lie sold by advocates of tearing the shit out of the natural environment for the wind and solar scam is to bury the cost of redundancy which is almost always provided by dangerous fossil fuels, about which advocates of wind and solar couldn't care less. (Their entire raison d'être has nothing to do with objection to fossil fuels; it is entirely about attacking nuclear energy.)

This redundancy, besides its odious and unsustainable dependency on excessive (fossil fuel powered) mining and the destruction of natural wilderness to make industrial parks, has profound climate implications as well.

One could also look at the climate gas intensity of electricity in that coal dependent antinuke hellhole of Germany and compare it to nuclear powered France, available at yearly, monthly and hourly figures at the electricity map.



Apologists for the so called "renewable energy" is "cheap and green" mythology, who again, couldn't care less about fossil fuels and so called "renewable energy's" dependence on them, actually should open their eyes and embrace reality, but experience teaches that they would rather just chant nonsense.
