Cdu/csu are “conservatives” but also a whole lot of other things and nothing like the GOP. Afd surge is sad but not as bad as many feared.

Real and fake reviews getting summarized in the same writing style so you can’t even tell the difference anymore.

These challenges were also there before social media, never said Germany is doing great either. Social media definitely played a part in changing consciousness, but in stead of class consciousness, we got right wing grifting, which happens to be the most profitable for social media companies.

Germany isn’t doing that bad though. This is happening all over, regardless of how comfortable the country’s white boys are. Of course, not capitalists will stop it, because they hope to profit from the divide.

Why do you allow corporations to keep polluting the world? If you allow that sort of behavior then by your own admittance I can come and build a coal plant in your living room.

Udm14 is just a query parameter to open google with the “web” results tab. Still works.

How does it make them money?

And we need several orders of magnitude more of it per Wh. We’ll run out of sand to make cement to build reactors before we run out of uranium.

95% doesn’t mean you can turn 100 old panels into 95 new panels. The 5% is cobalt and stuff, that needs to be mined over and over. It’s great that we have such rates but we’re not really lacking in glass.

No. I mean, hopefully both, but solar panels can’t be fully recycled into new solar panels. A bunch of rare materials need to be mined over and over.

It makes sense if it was payed like overtime. Probably worth it for the seller in any case.

Ehh, concrete is very polluting, and nuclear plants need a lot of it. It’s not gonna get recycled either. I thought this was obvious. Dunno how you thought that was a dunk.

But we can keep building them. It’ll always be expensive, but we don’t need much rare material.

I was hoping I’d see cobalt etc in your link, but still not then… For solar cells we need that 5% to be mined over and over. 50 years is nothing if you’re talking about renewables. Might as well not care about sustainability at all if you’re not talking another 5000 years.

This thread is about France vs Germany

France has old nuclear, Germany has old gas. Neither are leaders in renewables.

Yeah, Germany isn’t a leader in solar energy by a long shot…

Of course a nuclear reactor needs maintenance and thus also produces infrastructure waste. A lot more than a solar cell. But it dwarfs when you divide by watt-hours. Solar cells produce dozens of times more waste per watt-hour, and stuff that’s worse to handle too. Nuclear plants are mostly concrete and steel. Solar panels are glass and rare elements that we can’t recycle properly yet.

Like, you didn’t really think I was just comparing plants to cells did you? The point is, if the whole world goes solar, how many times over can we replace all of it?

They mean cost, not consumer price.

Solar is not sustainable. Maybe one day but today’s panels will all have to be replaced in a few decades. For now it’s a way to bridge the needed to go fully nuclear.
