We’ve got other alternatives. I was not proposing to build coal mines.
No doubt but we have other viable options.
It’s incredibly expensive when all costs over the entire construction period, operating period, dismantling period and storage period for nuclear waste are taken into account.
There’s nothing more to come. Nuclear power is slow and uneconomical.
Joe Kaeser, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Siemens Energy: “There isn’t a single nuclear power plant in the world that makes economic sense,” he said on the ARD program Maischberger on November 27, 2024.

A fact check by the Fraunhofer Institute on nuclear energy states: “For example, around €2.5 billion would have to be raised to cover the nuclear waste generated. Overall, considerable short-term investments would be required.” (for the construction of a new power plant)
7·6 days agoThat would also mean that he had planned everything in detail to fit together. That’s beyond his capacities. The recession was obviously unplanned; he’s already struggling to keep the whole thing under control. The complexity of human society is overwhelming him.
Another one from 2012:
He was so great as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s Doors movie. The only one who could have played that role.
Temu and Shein not only deliver products of bad quality, they also regularly commit customs fraud by declaring goods cheaper than they are or sending packages with more contents than declared to customs. Or they divide a single product into different parts to circumvent customs regulations.
Every single day, Temu and Shein are sending 400,000 parcels to Germany, 600,000 packages daily to USA. Every day, over a hundred Boeing 777 freighters have to take off for this purpose alone. Customs controls are totally overwhelmed by these quantities.

Clearly, Putin underestimated Ukraine at the beginning of his invasion. But Russia can maintain the war against Ukraine for a long time to come.
Putin has no other choice: the entire Russian economy is dependent on war and armaments and would collapse if peace were concluded. Putin could no longer control his country without an external enemy.
Hence his narrative of the “Nazis” who must be fought in Ukraine (and soon on other borders (see Suwalki Gap)). This narrative of the Nazis ties in with the russian history of the Great Patriotic War, and this resonates with the Russian population. Putin is building a sequel to WWII, with renewed external threats, and the people are receptive to that.
Therefore, Putin is not at all interested in a peace treaty. And the conflict with NATO countries has already begun: the severed power cables and data cables in the Baltic Sea and the attacks on our information systems should have been regarded as acts of war from their beginning. The threat is there NOW. And Europe and NATO must build up strength.

Donald Trump represents a symptom of a deeper, systemic issue within the United States: The nation is grappling with severe internal fractures.
The most important division is the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of very few. The rich are virtually untaxed. Many of these wealthy individuals and corporations have offshored their operations, amassing revenues that surpass those of entire nations.
This economic imbalance has enabled the powerful to dominate both traditional media and social media platforms. They are effectively manipulating public opinion. By exploiting the vulnerabilities of an under-educated populace, this influence has undermined democratic processes.
He had to learn that even a president doesn’t have absolute power to rule. And he’s intellectually incapable of drafting and passing proper laws. Therefore, he uses decrees and tariffs, tools that even a teenager could use. His actions reveal that he does not really understand the complexity of society or the economy.
He’s such an abysmally bad politician. Bungler. He’s ruining the country.
Shooting culture.
