No new coal in Germany, Holland or Spain - ?

5. Nuclear fan naysaying notwithstanding, this is an excellent report.

It is not reader friendly, but it looks to be a very realistic look at the factors driving investment and policy.

Comments from the Cult of Uranus would lead you to think that it is something on par with a high school book report. Of course, those same posters have been distorting everything about Germany's nuclear phase-out since day one, so they're at least being consistent.

One interesting tidbit that shows why they are working so hard to focus on the early stats. Referring to prior studies commissioned by Germany in 2010, they write: "The results of both studies depended heavily on the assumptions made on the german nuclear plant lifetime, i.e. longer nuclear plant lifetime leads to a quicker and more steady reduction of emissions from the energy sector, while nuclear plant shutdown results in a fast reduction of a higher emission level after 2020" pg 6.

You can download the original report with this link; it is well worth looking over.
