My deleted Response to Pirate Wires 'Nuclear Disasters'

The author, Tim Daub, describes a deleted comment he wrote in reply to a Pirate Wires post by Mike Solana titled "Nuclear Disasters," which Solana removed after saying Fukushima was 12 years ago and calling the comment "a perfect german take." The comment argues that Germany's nuclear shutdown is more nuanced than English-speaking social media suggests, citing fuel supply concerns, grid base-load limits, and the difficulty of backstopping renewables when sun and wind are absent. It also notes that renewables provided up to 40% of German electricity and that France shut nuclear plants during the 2022 heat wave because of river water levels. The author says Germany should instead invest in renewable technology, even if offset with some coal for now.
