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.

    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.

          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.

            I assume it’s supposed to mean magically find the raw materials and production somewhere else? These people have no rational thought, they can’t even put 2 and 2 together and see why solar is cheaper.

            Why do these people have such frothing opposition to nuclear? You’d think a meltdown killed their whole family, but somehow only at 2% coverage.

            They bought the oil lobby’s ancient anti-nuclear propoganda hook-line-and-sinker and don’t care about any of the actual data. But I’m the shill 🙄
