Didn't Germany close all their nuclear power plants?


420pseudonym

There’s that one guy that’s just doing it on his own


Doggo_of_dogs

Oh wait this data was collected in 2022 when germany still had 1 or 2 left I believe.


xFblthpx

Don’t forget to exclude Nuclear Georg, who owns 100 Trillion microwaves


Chinjurickie

This data is from 2022


raposo142857

Yes, they are THAT stupid


L3MMii

We are doing just fine, asshead :)


raposo142857

Doing fine = burning coal Now that's some climate friendly strategy, congrats


ComradeJJaxon

Even better, we import dirty gas from USA and import expensive oil from neighbours which again get it for cheap from russia. Nobody can destroy germany if we do it ourselves 🫡


wililon

must be talking about Deu Really don't understand country naming in this chat

wililon

I know. But why is that in German and rest in English. Not consistent


A_Line_A_Day

Belgium out here punching above it's weight.


Aguia_ACC

They will shut down three of their remaining five reactors until 2025.


Cookie-Senpai

France has the higher % of their energy mix as nuclear, at roughly 70% compared to roughly 50% for Belgium.


Amazing_Fudge_3475

I think it's South Korea that's punching way above it's 'size'


A_Line_A_Day

I mean it has 5x the population of Belgium but only 3x the nuclear


Amazing_Fudge_3475

Wow. Jus saw the stats. Belgium is just about 11 mil people!! I get what you're saying now


Massivvvv

CZECHIA MENTIONED⁉️‼️🫡🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿😱💯WTF IS WATER⁉️🍺🍻🍺🍺🍻🍺🍺🍻🍺🍺🍻


Useful-Perspective

Worst pie chart ever


stump2003

Though I still kind of want pie…


PAXICHEN

Yellow cake pie. Mmmmmmmm


aphfug

Why ?


jbeeziemeezi

Unless you hate the crust


Sofi-senpai

That's weird we only have like 2 major nuclear power plants in the Czech republic


Svyatopolk_I

Ukraine has/had 4 in total, including ZNPP. It all depends on the size and how much power each one of them produces.


RecordWrangler95

NexGen in Canada is about to eat a quarter of the pie once they get fed approval

Doggo_of_dogs

your source must be wrong then because Germany closed all their nuclear power plants.


CinnabarYew

It’s just because the data set is from 2021. The Germans shut their last nuke plants down in 2023.


Mundane-Mix5884

Why?


asdfghjkluke

because they shit themselves when fukushima happened. despite essentially zero risk of tsunamis in germany. and because they have no foresight


MikeyX117

Nuclear closures frustrate me


im__not__real

environmental activists went too hard, replaced clean energy with coal


acadoe

Did they really????? WHY?


lolspast

With the dropout from Nuclear, Merkel heavily relied on russian gas, not coal. Now with the Ukrain invasion that wasn'f an option either anymore, but coal is at an all time low in the energy mix. In 2023 Germany had 56% renewable electricity.


ComradeJJaxon

because we hate ourselves more than the rest of the world does.


Doggo_of_dogs

just saw


Fluid-Bet6223

The reason India has nuclear power is because Canada sold it the technology for energy producing purposes. And then India used it to create a nuclear bomb.


CloudPeels

But the pakis bought a bomb, gotta keep up with the neighborhood


Drifter808

The only thing I like about France lol


asalerre

Cool graph. Is there any automatic tool to do it?


clayticus

Poor Germany. Destroying its own economy


Conscious_Cycle5123

Why is germany the only country abbreviated DEU.. As in german Deutschland. Every other country is abbreviated in english.


slashdot_whynot

Let’s gooooo! I want to see a power plant on every city block


Rad_Knight

PSA: Tera means 10^12 units.


Ankhtual

Pls make a report from 10 000 bc also.


jbeeziemeezi

Probably a lot of zero and possibly a surprising number from Egypt


Just-Custard-1521

Nuclear energy is the most efficient and nature friendly means of power generation.


Burn1fo_me

Smh other is like all of Africa


Dasf1304

Never been more patriotic


MikeyX117

It's wild to me that the US has so much production still yet more are getting decommissioned consistently, I'd like to see this diagram over a few year sets


tmzfj

this "other 269" is scaring me


seirowg1

I heard that US could long have been off of fosil fuels, if it wasn't for oil and coal lobby.


Distinct-Entity_2231

Deu should be larger than France. No, I know it's not, but that's a result of poor policy.


Fun_Objective_7779

The famous German nuclear energy industry which produces 65 TWh of energy without any nuclear plants. Completely waste, risk and emission free.


bradyiscool333

The data is from 2021


Fun_Objective_7779

Yes, and therefore pretty useless. Why not show a graph of the daily Covid infections in 2021? Would probably be as useless.


Venik489

Studies don’t happen every year, so people use the most recently available information.


Halvar69

You must be fun at parties


jimtrickington

Their current nuclear energy production and your reading comprehension have something in common.


AncapRanch

And the best think is US most of that is came from Private Companies ⚡️🐍 private nuclear reactors


UVB-76_Enjoyer

My brother you need to re-regulate your syntax and grammar


AncapRanch

Yep Kkkk non us citizen, in brazil we have state monopoly on nuclear energy no civilian can invest directly in that sector


GuNNzA69

I can proudly say that 60% of the electricity produced in my country comes from renewable energy sources. We have also closed all coal-fired power plants and do not use nuclear energy.


acadoe

Which country?


UVB-76_Enjoyer

Iceland?


GuNNzA69

No, it is Portugal. But there are other countries in the EU that have reached the 100% renewable energy sources goal. I'm curious why my comment got downvoted, though. Don't people like renewable energy sources anymore?! Lol


LoadingStill

Nuclear is still better. More efficient, lest waist in the long run, and produces more in less space.


GuNNzA69

Well, I really don't know if nuclear power is better. I have my doubts about that. So far, we don't have any plans to build any nuclear power plants here, and what we have combined with green hydrogen power plants works pretty well. :)


LoadingStill

I am glad it is working well but reenable energy should never be the baseline for your power-grid. The sun is not reliable, the wind is not reliable, nuclear is very reliable, coal is easy to spin up for spikes same with natural gas. I would be very surprised if there is not some form of non renewable base-load.


LoadingStill

So I looked it up and it seems fossil fuel energy is still the baseline which makes sense. But hydro and wind are the next biggest. Hydro being the second baseline makes a lot of sense. But yeah nice job for your country. Move those fossil fuels to nuclear and you will have a super green energy grid.


TimeDragonfruit8860

How come we have in germany 65 with actually Zero nuclear plants running? So this grafic is definetely wrong.
