Il Belgio sta usando sempre meno combustibili fossili, ma mi sembra impossibile che io possa mai passare all’energia rinnovabile o nucleare. Idee?

It’s not a question of “It’s impossible”
It HAS to happen, fossil fuels are running out at a rapid pace. Eventually, we will need to find other means.
There needs to be a big shift in the political mindset to make this possible, because the current players are indeed making it hard. But I believe this can happen.
What make you think it’s impossible?
We are not capable of transitioning completely to renewable energy OR nuclear energy. We are capable of transitioning to a combination of both.
Another possibility would be renewable, nuclear and hydrogen however the cost is too high for the moment. Technically even renewable and hydrogen is possible but even more expensive.
From an engineering point a view the best non fossil solution would be a nuclear base load accompanied by wind and solar and hydrogen as storage.
Batteries can balance the electrical net but cannot store enough energy for a shortage in renewable energy due to weather conditions.
The idea of going for gigantic interconnected renewable projects from Denmark to Maroco is interesting but extremely expensive.
You are correct to think that the closing of our nuclear fasilities is a disaster. Fortunatly we are being saved by France! As I am typing, we are importing 36.7% of our electric energy from france. this is good for polution in belgium (at a cost of polution in other european countries perhaps?). Elsewhere the gas and mazout is being pushed back by heat-pumps as well.

The idea is to make the Green line go up. But it needs to happen a lot faster than it is right now.
I’m not sure what these number represent but the 5% for renewable seems deliberately low. RES (Renewable Energy Sources) are about 13-14% of the total energy consumption mix right now. This is the number that should matter, it’s the total energy consumed in our country. And the aim is to get it to 17-18% by 2030 according to the NECP (National Energy and Climate Plans) submitted by our country. It’s still a long way to go to be climate neutral by 2050…

Impossible is neither true nor an option.
Technology provides for compounding effects that speed up the rollout, which we are starting to see.
But you’re right we are only at the beginning and have a lot of work left to do.
