On Germany Continuing with its Idiotic Plan to Shut Down Their Last Three Nuclear Power Plants and Because of this Having to Majorly Increase Their Use of Natural Gas and Coal as the Green Nonsense Simply Isn't Cutting it

So much stupidity going on here. a) If your main goal is to reduce carbon emissions the only two viable options are nuclear and hydroelectric (meeting the requirements of scale and cost) and so why would you want to eliminate one of them (safety being an overblown concern and, besides, nothing is completely safe)? b) Fear of CO2 levels rising is also irrational in that the earth has experienced much higher levels in the past and it obviously survived (CO2 being plant food which contributes to the greening of the planet). And c) the green energy options that these radicals tout are both woefully inadequate and not particularly green (strip mining in third world countries, massive amounts of waste, the clearing of land due to sprawl, etc.).............Of course if your main purpose is to destroy civilization (through poverty, an increase in climate related deaths, mass starvation, etc.) then, yeah, maybe not so dumb after all.
