Excluding nuclear power is precisely why this green deal isn't going to happen. We could've built nuclear power plants decades ago to help, but now we are stuck between deciding if it's green or not and if it could help. It can't. It's too late. Building nuclear power plants takes too long and by the time they are finished, their goal of 2040 is no longer possible.

How so?

[@micklenier6152]

The major problem with nuclear power is it's significant costs, aproval and construction time and waste. However nuclear power has also great benefits. energy density, constant energy output and safety. to be frank nuclear power shouldn't be backbone, but complementary power to hydro and geothermal that can operate during energy shortages, during winter and nights when solar and wind power are much less effective. Still it's my issue with the green party, that well they are very anti nuclear, but atleast thanks to the thing that is happening in the east (i won't say the word because youtube very much doesn't like it) had shown that nuclear power cannot be removed completely and should remain untill other alternative is found. which maybe en mass geothermal power or if it proves viable maybe thermonuclear, but that maybe just my fantasy (because it curently has the same problem as nuclear and as of now doesn't work). but I would still consider giving them a vote, because lot of the stuff they say at least for me sounds "sound". though I wonder where they will get all the lithium for the batteries (food for thought)

Excluding nuclear energy is a huge mistake. 100% renewable is impossible to achieve, look at Germany (opening coal mines) and California (having a lot of power outages). This plan is dangerous. Nuclear is reliable, low cost (VALCOE). A reactor takes just 5 years to build when it's done correctly. And even if it takes 15, well, we'll still need electricity in 15 years ! Renewable is expensive, it does not produce anything if there is no wind or sun, and it takes a loooot of space to produce a decent amount of electricity. The nuclear waste ? It is a very little amount compared to the energy produced. In comparison, the toxic metal from the solar panels waste is way more a problem but no one cares about it... Don't get me wrong, we need both nuclear and renewable. But focusing only on renewable will not work.

the greens usually use the argument to listen to science in regards to climate change, however the fact that they so radically oppose nuclear power is why I just can't vote for them, as scientist and engineers have more than argued that nuclear power is a major solution to decarbonising our energy production. and nuclear fuel CAN be re-enriched, so it IS renewable to a major extent

[@emken0206]

I dont get it why thats a problem for so many people. Any existing fission reactor will produce for at least 2 more decades (If you take the German approach at least) any reactor that hasnt been built yet will have a no impact in climate change same with the ones that wont be finshed before 2030. Compared to Solar its pretty expensive 40€-60€/mwh vs 110€+/mwh for nuclear even offshore wind Energy is below 100€/mwh right now. They are a huge defense risk (If im Putin power plants would be one of my first targets). So why do you want fission reactors so badly that this is a dealbreaker for you?

"Ew brother ew what's that brother" No nuclear is biggest turn off when there are technologies that can make nuclear waste toxicity go away much quicker than before and if that would improve it would be even better.

[@DJYStarTV]

The problem renewable energy has is that it has peak and down times. Today we burn coal or gas in between the peaks. Something we can't do with nuclear, as it takes 2 days to restart a nuclear power plant. Our problem is not having enough energy but not having it at the right time. Nuclear doesn't solve the problem.

[@TheEJskater]

@@DJYStarTV those drops between peaks would be gone and we would not need that much renewables which also harm environment in their own way. That is what I understand from your comment

[@DJYStarTV]

@@TheEJskater You can't have 100% Nuclear because you can't adjust your energy production, yes it has a constant output but the energy consumption is not constant we have barely any consumption at night but lots in the morning and evening. So what I am saying is nuclear and renewables have the same problem. I acknowledge the technological advancement in dealing with nuclear waste and hope it improves further but I don't believe nuclear power has a future. Currently one Megawatt-hour costs about 180€ compared to about 50€ per Mega watt-hour for solar and wind.

[@TheEJskater]

@@DJYStarTV I don't say that we should have 100% nuclear. It's just good combination for carbon free sources. In France I believe LCOE price€ is much lower because of so much nuclear. LCOE is good point you made that didn't come to my mind. In the end I don't really understand topic deeply but we shouldn't be throwing nuclear in garbage just yet as it has definitely places for use.

Wanting to allow 'climate migration' will be the syrian civil war refugee crisis x10, we're still strugling with those people and just can't handle more people who do not want or are not capable of integrating. Not to mention the insane policy of no fossil fuel or nuclear, but somehow we're supposed to have only green power already in 2040? i'm not against green power, but do you think that only wind is enough to power a cold and industrial country like finland, where I live, during the winter? Absolutely no. These people lack an ability to actually compromise and to be pragmatic and that will cost them this and all every election after before they actually make changes to be more inviting to industry and migration, not to mention all of the intersectional bs.

It's a top-down vs bottoms-up difference. The Pirates started in Sweeden in 2006 and then copycat parties formed in other countries and then the European Pirate Party (2014) and the Pirate Parties International (2010) formed to which the individual parties adhered. The individual parties have various differences between them in policy and approaches while still being aligned on the core topics. This is the usual path for international political movements. Volt on the other hand was started with the intention of being a paneuropean party and just opened chapters in each country. The platform is meant to be pretty much the same between all national parties. However, with time, I believe each national party will have to face their specific national context and they will naturally diverge to an extent.

@@Hardcore_Remixer We produce at least 3 times as much CO2 per person than most people in the world though. So if we want to convince people from India or Africa not to copy our lifestyle we will have to at least get close to climate neutrality. Otherwise climate change will get completely out of control and end the world as we know it.

[@Micha-qv5uf]

Good to know that you will be very disappointed.

[@emken0206]

I dont get it why thats a problem for so many people. Any existing fission reactor will produce for at least 2 more decades (If you take the German approach at least) any reactor that hasnt been built yet will have a no impact in climate change same with the ones that wont be finshed before 2030. Compared to Solar its pretty expensive 40€-60€/mwh vs 110€+/mwh for nuclear even offshore wind Energy is below 100€/mwh right now. They are a huge defense risk (If im Putin power plants would be one of my first targets). So why do you want fission reactors so badly that this is a dealbreaker for you?

[@dererik9070]

Nuclear is way more expensive and only gives fossil fuel companies more time to kick the can further down the road by at least 10 years.

[@giovannituber2827]

​@@JaegerDreadful But you know that they are they cheap becouse the market is oversaturated? and why is oversaturated? becouse the most solar photovoltaic modules comes from China in like 80% So if we want be self dependent we will buy those 20% and then they won't be that cheap.

NGL, there's no real reason to vote for the Greens if every other leftwing party also supports the same green policies without the exclusion of nuclear power

[@thaibreuer3533]

Who the hell one should vote if they left leaning liberals but are unequivocably pro nuclear energy?

[@rafhadalto]

They lost me when they talk about future economy. People want solutions for problems we have NOW. Green economy should help economy NOW, however increasing regulations and cost are playing against it. Implementation is also a problem. Looking into Germany, where power plants were decommissioned before more generation capacity were built seems not to be the most brilliant idea. They are too attached to then ideals, but miss a sense of practicality
