Nuke power

France and Germany are the two biggest economies in Europe and they border one another. France gets 70% of their electric power from 57 nuclear reactors at a cost of 26 cents per kWh. Germany shut down their 17 nuclear power plants and the cost of electric power is 38 cents per kWh. In addition, France exports electric power to Germany. Germany was controlled by the green movement which pursued a policy of denuclearization. This happened in the US in the 1960’s. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) projected in 1967 that by 2000 there would be 1,000 nuclear plants. If the greens had not interfered the US would never have gone down the road of trying to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar and would probably be close to achieving the goal of zero carbon. With the revitalization of nuclear power now underway the goal may still be achieved but not without interference from the green people who are mostly motivated by social change not climate change.
