Energy Supply has to be cheap and safe.
The difference is: China has direct access to uranium mines – Germany doesn’t. That makes nuclear energy supply in Germany dependent (less safe) and less cheap.

Wouldnt that make more sense as a “% of total power produced”?

So what? We’re booming in renewable energy, they’ll boom nuclearly. As long as their fallout doesn’t reach us, they can do what they want (even glow green in the dark).

Ok, so we have one country that no longer relies on nuclear energy and one that is investing more in it. What’s the point ?

Can someone please explain to me why Germany is so against Nuclear energy when most other countries seem to approve it

You know, all the Germany bashing because of their Nuclear strategy is getting really boring now. Yes we know they closed their Nuclear reactors and yes China is building more. How often do poeple want to post it? You think something changes just because someone posts another comparsion that doesn’t make sense?

This chart is absolutely dumb.
• Doesn’t take into account how large the countries are
• Doesn’t show what % of the total production nuclear actually makes up
It’s low IQ propaganda “Look how big the chinese graph is, look how Germany goes down lololo”

One if the dumbest, Most shortsighted things our politicians ever decided.
Concerns about nuclear waste?
Fair
Reduce share of nuclear power in favor of renewables?
Fair
Total phaseout and delete german Expertise in this field?
totally fucking dumb

Nuclear power propaganda.

Wow, 2,5 times the power output from China compared to Germany. What an utter useless picture. And misleading.

When Germany is not on the wrong side of history it is on the stupid side of it

Never ask China where they put the nuclear waste.

That’s one thing I agreed with Trump on. He told Germany in a meeting, he thought it was inappropriate that their NATO ally was funneling money to a country that’s considered an enemy (frenemy at the time). All the while having the USA protecting them from said frenemy. Quite right too, so I’ll give him that one. Germany scored a major own goal by closing their nuclear plants and using Russian gas instead. It also knocked their targets way off, for their green targets.

Nuclear energy is the only thing that unites oil companies and environmental activists. And we can see the result in Germany.

Smart one vs. stupid one. In few years half of Germany industry will be in China. Every day without wind others countries in EU need to rescue them with electricity.

• Doesn’t take into account how large the countries are
• Doesn’t show what % of the total production nuclear actually makes up
• Doesn’t put it into context with the growth of other forms of electricity ([even in China, renewables are absolutely dwarfing nuclear](https://www.enerdata.net/publications/daily-energy-news/china-installs-record-capacity-solar-45-and-wind-18-2024.html))
