Germany Says Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants

Bavarian Ministry of Energy: Around 4.2 million tons more CO2 by shutting down Isar 2

Green politicians and their supporters claim that the end of nuclear power is a good day for climate protection. The facts speak a different language. According to estimates by the Bavarian State Ministry of Energy, shutting down the Isar 2 nuclear power plant alone will result in additional emissions of 4.2 million CO2 per year. [Applause, applause, applause]

According to the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, the shutdown of the Bavarian nuclear power plant Isar 2 alone will result in significantly higher CO2 emissions. “Assuming that the annual electricity volume lost from the Isar 2 nuclear power plant is replaced with the German electricity mix for 2021, the shutdown will result in an additional 4.2 million tons of CO2 per year,” the ministry responded to a request from Pleitticker.de . For comparison: That corresponds to around 1.8 million long-haul flights from Munich to New York or 52.5 million car journeys from Berlin to Hamburg.

Today’s nuclear phase-out is often presented as a success for climate protection. The environmental organization Greenpeace has described the end of the use of nuclear energy in Germany as a “good day” for climate protection, according to the nuclear phase-out lobby group “ausgestrahlt” (no more radiation) the phase-out is “already a great benefit for the climate”. The figures from the Bavarian State Ministry show that the opposite is true. [What can one expect otherwise from complete ideological retards? Everything that contradicts their “Gospel of Doom” is heretical and needs to be destroyed for the “greater good” — which is simply the standard excuse for each and every tyrant.]

Bavaria’s Minister-President [Markus] Söder spoke out vehemently against the shutdown at a performance in front of the Isar 2 nuclear power plant this week. He described it as a “grave mistake to phase out nuclear energy at this point in time. It is an “energy policy sin and a real danger for Germany.” [Could it be that this guy speaks sense for once? I’m shocked.]

Afterword from the translator:

Yes, and….?

Is that why the Greens are being voted out of the Bavarian state parliament? According to the polls, NO. In other words, Munich is on fast-track to become the new Berlin, if it’s not there already. Goodbye Bavaria, goodbye Germany; it was nice knowing you 30-odd years ago. Now I even wouldn’t want to be buried there.

  1. God please get the Kaiser in there and purge this pestilence of gai worshipping, alphabet people, least lowest common denominator feminaxi loving, marxist leftist!

  2. I’m sure most of those who read here are on the same page regarding the ignorant politics which bring about such self-abolishing decisions. But let’s not be so naive ourselves. From where does the nuclear fuel have to get imported, is the more interesting question in regards to the future of nuclear power, because we sure don’t have enough of it at home. The same thing applies to oil, which is even bigger. It sure is stupid to just shut down infrastructure without viable alternatives ready and tested, but insisting we wouldn’t have this problem without such fools at the top is falling short of realism. The theory of us having passed peak oil already can be contested, but if we keep firing up conflicts with any country that has the stuff, then it does us as much good as if it wouldn’t exist. It has already been suggested that this, too, is done on purpose to arrive at America being our only possible supplier left. I don’t know, none of it makes any sense. But we can’t keep doing everything as we’re used to regarding energy, for any number of reasons. If one doesn’t agree to some of them, there are always enough other reasons, is the point I’m trying to make.

    • Congrats K, you energy prices just jumped up 45 % now the choice is going to be, eat or heat. From the most advanced country in Europe to the bloody dark ages in 1 generation, who woulda thunk it? Better start collecting firewood now so it seasons and dries before you burn it.

      • I no longer live there. Where I’m at, firewood is the main source for heat. I did say that the shutting down of infrastructure without replacement in Germany is stupid and untimely, but none of this folly takes away from the reality that it’s a long-standing problem of Germany that it cannot operate without importing energy and/or fuels for energy production. And in the case of nuclear, where does the stuff come from and for how long are these sources dependable. Think about it, things seldom are as cut and dried as they look. The current clown show sure steals the lime light, but the problem doesn’t go away without them.

    • Some of the biggest Uranium Ore deposits “were” in Bohemia. The word is that 99% of that was mined by the Soviet Union, with the labor provided by the political prisoners – because mining uranium ore is not particularly healthy…

      There is also a word that since the 1990’s the world’s nuclear fuel has been provided by Russia, courtesy of having lost the cold war, but that that “subservient position” of Russia is over.

      Here in the Czech Republic – we have two major nuclear powerplants, build by the Russian Design, finished with the Westinghouse designs, both of them should have been enlarged already but the Americans block every effort to get the Russians in on it, but are unable to supply the nuclear power plant block themselves, or they charge beyond the abilities of the Czech Republic to pay. So – there is no doubt that we could have had more Nuclear plants in the Czech Republic, but enlargement of the facilities is effectively blocked, for last 33 years, by the USA push to be the sole provider.

      PS: I am a believer in Uranium Rockets – and I believe that “they” – The governments, the armies, etc. want that nuclear fuel for space exploration.

    • A German Engineer “invented” a new nuclear reactor some time ago, this reactor, if I remember correctly is double cooled by lead and uses ALL of the Uranium, no nuclear waste.
      He said what nuclear waste is stored underground in Germany alone would be enough to power Germany and its Industry for another 400 – 500 years.
      A power-plant the size of a double-door fridge would be enough to supply Berlin with Electricity.

      I think he also talked about this 2 years ago in one of the Corona Investigative Life-streams.
      Unfortunately I don’t remember when exactly.
      But it was interesting to say the least.

  3. Germany ,France and England are done stick a fork into them ,they will soon be Moslem majority countries in the next twenty years because of high Moslem birth rates ,low native European birth rates and large “refugee” invasion. How the Moslems will handle the green earth goddess worshipers ,confused gender idiots ,and other Marxist tools will be very interesting. It will not end well ,their will not be no leaders like Kaisers in the future ,or other non-Marxist leaders to set thing right in the future is my humble opinion. There will be alot of blood spilled ,as people sit in their cold houses in future winters and or spend their “free” time on bread lines or rioting and fighting over any resources left .From first world to third world in one generation ,the “greens leaders” should be the first hung from non-working traffic lights when this happens.THat is if America does not drag us into world war 3 .

    • Well, if Greens are hung from traffic lights then the lights can be said to still be working, after a fashion!

    • History has always shown there is a absolute ruthless strongman in the wings waiting for the right moment to take over, this will be no different, the military will take over at some point because they will be forced to, just as they always have in times of crisis.

  4. I believe it was mentioned by Alex Christoforou of The Duran yesterday that after the last nuclear power plant was shut down the German power company announced a 45% increase in the cost of energy going forward. If this is accurate I can’t say that I am surprised by it, or surprised that the most likely German reaction will just be to vote for more Greens. Perhaps when African orcs make up a majority of the population then this madness might subside because presumably even orcs like hot water, internet, heat, and electric lighting so that they can see who they are raping. I don’t see how even an orc can make a worse mess of German government than the Germans, who have proven quite adept at doing all by themselves.

    • If you haven’t been to an African country, you know bloody well it can be a hundreds times worse, the bloody orcs still eat each other.

      • It means that we in Norway will pay more for electricity since we now also have to “help” Germany. I used to pay about 40$ a month for electricity, and now I pay more than 200$ a month.

        • Well get to the forest and start cutting some hardwoods if you can find them in Norway and start burning wood.

  5. Here in Germany this week, my German colleagues were very angry about this… They were saying German nuclear power plants were very well-maintained.

    But hey – Fukushima happened… So German nuclear plants need to be shut – because Germany,’s just as prone to tsunamis right?

  6. It is all part of the plan ,15 min. cities , you will own nothing and be “happy”, eat the bugs ,MAID (medical assisted in dying ) digital currency and social credit scores .Our ruling elite have spoken ,now eat your cold bug gruel ,take your government mandated medication ,and mind your pronouns in speech and on line as we trans your children for the entertainment of the ruling elite. Why should policies on ,farming, currency, cultural ,religion ,use of natural resources ,be different in Germany ,Africa ,Japan or China ,or America ,says the ruling elite as they FU life for regular citizens all over the world with one size fits all policies. Why should the natives in any country expect the government to work in improving the average citizens lives or listen to opinions or common knowledge of those citizens who work ,live and die in social working structures according to their cultural, religion, family ,that date back thousand of years .We have all these “experts” unelected elites telling our elected “officials” how to reinvert the wheel to have us regress into living in mudhuts, or caves, or pod apartments for the better good of the world.
