@Forester @CyberEgg And over 50 % are renewable. In fact: a vast part of German nuclear technology derives from Russia. So why would it be russian propaganda convincing the germans from renewable? Of course you mean they propagated Gas and oil, but that only worked for the CDU and the far right.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because Russia is not dependent on selling fissile material or renewables to support its war machine; it sells petrochemicals and will continue to do so into 2027 and possibly further as lawmakers continue to squabble.

@Forester but Germany would rely on foreign uranium sources. Wo why would you make yourself dependent on the next foreign source of Energy?

Yeah the French and Swiss are notoriously such foreign and exotic peoples to the Germans.

Australia (28% of global reserves) Kazakhstan (13% of global reserves) Canada (10% of global reserves) Russia (8%, of global reserves) Nambia (5%of global reserves) Uzbekistan (2% of global reserves) It sounds like you confuse mining, raw ore and exporting refined ingots.

Kind of like how a baker sources his flower from many farmers sometimes globally depending on the best rate and availability.

Don't confuse resource availability with financial incentive.

In what reality do you live? Did you forget that all nuclear plants (ignore the single one in East Germany that was immediately shut down after reunification) were built in West Germany?

Yeah they definetly stole all that ~~Russian~~ Soviet technology from the exploded reactor that lacked a freaking containment back in the 80s....

[–] alibee@nrw.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@carrylex After the Fall of the Iron curtain the german nuclear plants were using mostly russian and kasachish uranium.

  1. Importing uranium is not technology
  2. As explained in https://lemmy.world/comment/24476026 most of the imports in the last years were from Canada / the US.

@carrylex you dont put raw uranium into a fission reactor.
US can not be considered as a reliable partner any more. Canada of course, but why rely on a dependancy?

[–] carrylex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes that's why Germany built enrichment facilities years ago: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urananreicherungsanlage_Gronau

US can not be considered as a reliable partner any more. Canada of course, but why rely on a dependancy?

  1. Germany had no active nuclear power plants for 3 years now.
  2. I think companies pretty much don't care where they get their ore from as long as that country is not on a sanction list.
[–] alibee@nrw.social 2 points 1 month ago

@carrylex the uranium enrichment facility in Gronau belongs to the british Company urenco and is the only comercial enrichment Facility in Germany. And the Uranium hexafluoride needs to be imported. So it’s still not independent.

[–] alibee@nrw.social 1 points 1 month ago

@carrylex companies don’t care. But it is more than obvious now, that a government should. Renewables can do the Job without a dependency on a foreign source of energy. Germany should put all efforts in distribution, so the renewables are able to take all the load.
