    Those two things are very different in sustainability.

    Including gas as a renewable makes that classification worthless.

    Good news on nuclear, awful news on gas, but considering the German fake energy transition is powered by it, it’s perhaps inevitable.

    Also this just annoyed me more than it should:

    Nuclear power is a carbon-free source of electricity but it is not typically labeled as green energy, like solar, wind and other renewables. Generating power this way requires mining and processing uranium to create nuclear fuel, an energy-intensive process that produces emissions.

    Unlike wind turbines and solar panels, which are made from butterfly shine and faery sighs.
