They might not know it yet, but Germans helped put one of the EU’s oldest and most polarizing debates to bed when they voted this past weekend.
At least that’s the hope from the bloc's pro-nuclear countries.

In 2021, Germany's six nuclear plants generated 69.13 TWh of electricity.
Worldwide in 2023, renewables added that much generation in about 1.5 months.
And if it's positive about nuclear as an energy source it has to be for fossil and against the other sustainable sources.
I find this all very foggy, reminds me of the anti-vaccine stories.
besides the point...
And there are existing corporations that want them and the industry wants them, it more then that they need them
German industry is falling down.
And co-invest in other reactors in Europe.
Nuclear is one of the answers.
Adding 100's of reactors in the years to come in Europe.
For electricity and heat//steam.
But why do you want uranium? Do you want to build a nuclear weapon?
"If today's weapons were based upon U-233, LRL [Lawrence Radiation Laboratory] would have no interest in switching to plutonium."

"Uranium 233 has a lower critical mass, which means that less material can be used to build a weapon. And compared with weapons-grade plutonium 239, uranium 233 has a much lower spontaneous fission rate, enabling simpler weapons that are more easily constructed." #Thorium
Silly me thinking that Germany actually learnt from their past mistakes...
IF we wanted to go back to nuclear we'd have to build new plants. That would take decades and millions of Euros.
By then the energy transition ...
Halt all there anti-nuclear politics in Europe.
And co-invest in reactors that there direct neighbors have plans for.
This will lower the energy prices for Germany and Europe.
The dependence on importing Gas/LNG, coal and BM
