Good. Now try fix the economy with the same passion🙋♂️
I’d be interested in peoples opinions on this. The article seems to insist Finland is so green energy with all the nuclear plants. But isn’t nuclear waste literally the most ungreen thing you could produce?
Edit: and wasn’t that one plant we built in Finland a financial disaster and a huge money sink?
Edit edit: to clarify because of all the downvotes. I’m curious because I do not know. That’s why I asked for opinions. I’m originally from Germany so the idea of nuclear energy = bad is baked into my brain. No need to hate me for my genuine curiosity to step outside of my learned habits.
Good. Now ask the people whos paying 600eur electric bills trough the winter isnt that great
Now the only thing left to do is to find someone willing to pay for all this greentech.
TLDR: Yes and no, we look good in energy production but not at land use carbon sinks.
Yes we are carbon-neutral but the problem is that biomass is defined as such on energy production metrics. However we burn a lot of biomass and we also know that the emissions from land use is not carbon neutral. And it causes biodiversity loss. So in the energy production we appear very green, and it is in many ways a good thing. However, unless we find a way to end burning biomass the net total is negative. This would require us to redefine many things on international level which is not likely to happen.
One thing worth pointing out: electricity does not equal energy. Electricity consumption is about 20% of energy consumption. The latter includes things like cars, shipping, creating fertilizers, etc.
But.. it’s something! And also: electricity is really cheap in Finland!
And what did it cost ? Everything
