Germany plans to give spies vast new powers in rollback of postwar restraints. Berlin is preparing its foreign intelligence service for a world where the U.S. halts intelligence sharing.

Okay, that warrants concern about the publisher, but none of it directly implicates Politico Europe.
Döpfner made clear after the acquisition that he intends to push the same "values" in Politico as in the rest of the publishing house.
Did he ever use his losigom and influence to pish support for far right parties? Which parties?
Not openly, but the narrative and framing pushed by the Bild paper sits firmly between CDU/CSU and AfD positions and frequently contains articles that only barely miss the classification as hit pieces against actual left leanings actors.

You think that steel is is produced with renewables

The whole trajectory in Europe is to move steel production to renewables or at least hydrogen based methods.

[...] mining [...] fossiles
Unions work to protect workers in the fossils [...] industry

There is no fossil fuel industry left to protect in Germany. The few remaining coal mines are a dying breed and even closing up shop before the legal phaseout in 2035 because it's just not economically viable anymore.

I don't think that the German social democrats define what leftwing means for all of Europe.

No, they don't but since we are arguing under an article about a situation in Germany, Social Democrats referees to the SPD in particular. And to understand why the SPD nowadays can hardly be considered a left leaning party you should read about the Seeheimer Kreis and the neoliberal agenda they have been pushing for years and which has formed the majority of SPD policies in recent years.

So, in reality it takes it takes at least 8 years to match one nuclear reactors, assuming you like keeping the lights on during winter.

One nuclear reactor every eight years? Still better than any current reactor project to date. Where is your argument?

So on top of literally an entire nation's worth of solar panel growth you need to also STORE that power for at least 16 hours

I mean, building a nuclear power plant where none operates at the moment (Germany) would also be an entire nation's worth of nuclear growth. What sort of argument is that supposed to be. Add solar or add nuclear, duh?

As for the storage: companies are even building long term battery storages without subsidies because it's worth it on an economical scale to buy the overproduction during peak hours. Show me a nuclear project without subsidies.

And nuclear plants have MUCH longer lifespans

Sure, but over these lifespans maintenance and eventually disposal is a massive cost factor which is one of the reason the overall cost calculation is so negative and requires massive subsidies.

Tell me, how much nuclear waste is there actually?

Too much, because at least here in Germany, nobody wants to store it permanently. So better don't produce any waste at all. It's funny that this argument "It's so little waste" always comes up but completely fails the reality check.
