Damn all these German tears in the comments could be used for enough hydro electricity to actually make the German grid cleaner.
That wouldn't be long lived, though, because when implemented in the current German fashion, they won't be using salt water resistant equipment for cost cutting reasons and neglect all maintenance to cut even more costs. The tear powered hydroelectric plants will be rusted through and seized up in no time.
No it wouldn't. It would never be built because the FDP would block it and Söder would refuse to have it built in Bavaria and Merz would say something about immigrants using up all our German salt on the tax payers dime all day long and Sahra Wagenknecht would mention that we wouldn't need it if we were all good friends with Putin and the SPD would do nothing anyway and the AfD would blame the green party for not reactivating 45 year old reactors instead of building it,...
...different organisational levels of the Greens would endorse an oppose it at the same time, because it's climate friendly but its building requires trimming a hedge of brambles on the neighbouring plot. A local citizens' initiative against it would form due to widespread concerns about the plant's working fluid containing the dangerous chemicals Dihydrogen Monoxide and Sodium Chloride, this initiative would run for the next council elections and win in a landslide. Then everyone would sue each other, and after about 5 to 10 years of legal battle, construction would be approved under strict additional conditions. By then, the cost would have doubled and the plant as planned and approved would be technologically obsolete and important components out of production, so there would be no other choice than repeating the entire planning and approval process all over.
Bitte, aufhören 😭
