Thanks for the info. That the leftists/democrat party/Marxists will not support nuclear proves that their green agenda is only about de-growth and the power to control the citizenry. Nuclear, suppling abundant clean, less expensive energy would allow us to be more free and independent. The Marxists won’t stand for that.
One other aspect of density should be explored. That is personnel density required to generate and deliver the energy. The renewable crowd is boasting lately that employment in renewables have now exceeded those employed in the hydrocarbon Extraction and delivery business. That being the case, renewables supplies less than 5% of total energy. Hydrocarbons supply more than 80% of total energy. That means renewables require significantly more people to supply the same amount of energy. This is because the supply chain is much longer and complex for renewables.
To your point I surmise that the "renewables personnel" and jobs are mostly taxpayer subsidy supported, in contrast to the true market economy support of fossil.
Thank you for your very informative post. If you have not already covered this, Russia has the greatest amount of natural gas reserves. It is also close to Europe. 1,688,228,000 million cubic feet. 24.30% of the world's natural gas reserves. As GreenNUKE wrote recently, the Russian - Ukraine war is the first war with control of natural gas being a strategic weapon. https://greennuke.substack.com/p/top-german-greens-officials-accused
One of the references in CGNP's just-revised article points to a recent paper regarding Germany's ability to recommission several nuclear power plants, similar to the restart process for the decommissioned Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan, USA. German polling data suggests that the "Traffic Light" coalition and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck are on their way out in the 9 June 2024 Parliamentary elections.

Good one, but you forgot to include the energy density of the other main nuclear fuel deuterium, 571M MJ/kg. A lot of energy in seawater because of the deuterium in it.

Great point Ken, thanks for stopping by.

Germany needs to figure out how to turn the reactors back on somehow. Good Ruck, Right?
BTW: Ukraine has tremendous reseves of frackable shale loaded with the goods...

Gene, that's what I call a nail in the coffin distillate article. Excellent share.
The 59% increase in pork prices is a real culture blow as well. Sounds funny, but now things are personal!
It will be fascinating to watch when and if Habeck and his lot get launched.
Hoping that once great country will recover, we need them as an ally.
Thanks. Previously, I worked in West Germany. I presume "get launched" is synonymous with being rejected at the polls. Here's hopeful news dated 01 May 2024.... https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/05/01/christian-democrats-lead-the-eu-elections-polls-in-germany Unsurprisingly the Greens have become even less popular, dropping from 16% to 13%.
Roger that re. Launching.
In my career I worked with a number of German engineers and chemists who I had great respect for.
The Green Groups are so oddly opposed to normalacy, logic and other positive Germanic attributes.
