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.
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 🙄
