Belgium has dropped nuclear phaseout plans adopted over two decades ago. Previously, it had delayed the phaseout for 10 years over the energy uncertainty triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Belgium’s parliament on Thursday voted to drop the country’s planned nuclear phaseout.
In 2003, Belgium passed a law for the gradual phaseout of nuclear energy. The law stipulated that nuclear power plants were to be closed by 2025 at the latest, while prohibiting the construction of new reactors.
In 2022, Belgium delayed the phaseout by 10 years, with plans to run one reactor in each of its two plants as a backup due to energy uncertainty triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
It’s very telling that you think I should be more concerned about my backyard and neighbors rather than the billions of people who will suffer while we try to dig our way out of this pit with more palatable tech that can’t do the whole job.
Also funny that you think having a radioactive hole in the ground that loses the majority of its potency in less than 100 years is too high a price to keep our planet habitable. I’d rather be relocated out of my neighborhood than deal with billions of climate refugees moving in. Your NIMBY-ass logic is why our planet is fucked.
yawn. i still see no reason or argument
nuclear energy was 2% of all electricity before my country phased out. poor or stupid countries might be able to convince their ppl that this cant be substituted. 2 fucking percent. that is nothing.
dunno where your brain was when you shifted to rich people…but especially if you do no like oligarchs you should be against nuclear. they hardly create jobs but big revenue for the owner.
please wake up from your feverdream
So you yawn when people in Xinjiang died making your solar panels? It seems you don’t treat people in third world countries as fellow humans, for some reason.
what a great joke. pat yourself on the back once again. if you wouldnt be such a wanker buying from china…bam…problem solved.
I don’t see you denying looking at people from third world country as less than human. I guess I was right, then?
Also, if I wouldn’t be such a wanker buying from China, problem solved? What is this sentence structure even supposed to convey? It seems lack of education goes along well with your superiority complex.
