> Haven't heard that joke in a long time. Good one!

It's not a joke.

It's reality.



Yes, it's a joke. Maybe not an intentional one, but a joke nevertheless.

It has nothing to do with reality.


Why are you lying?


One of us is lying.

It ain't me.

As one example of many see previous post on nuclear production records.


I live in Germany.

What I wrote is and has been an actual topic of real world politics here.

There is nothing speculative or questionable about it.

Nuclear reactors are not flexible. To keep them in any way financially sane, you have to keep them running as long as possible. Even when the energy they produce is much much more expensive then the one from renewables. This is why they block the grid an renewables had to be turned off.

it happened before we turned off the crap.

So you are lying.
