Home financing ever possible? Probably not!

No, because of a catastrophic event, namely a meteorite impact. Please do not bring up this fallacious argument about the advantages of a warm world. It is advantageous for everyone who is born into already stable conditions in such a world. Then life flourishes. But the path to that, especially since it is geologically almost unprecedentedly fast, is marked by upheavals, which those who live in these interesting times have to manage. ( Disclaimer: It is of course true that a completely ice-free, warmer world, after the adaptation phase, is richer in species and more "productive". But that practically does not concern the corpses that pave the way there. )

It was about prosperity at the expense of others. If the Saudis had invested even part of the money from the oil (which happens to be there by chance) in renewables and research, and not in Ferraris, then we wouldn’t be debating anymore ;)

If we had done that, the oil would be with us and not with the Saudis?

How many billions do the aftermath of the reactor accidents in Chernobyl and Fukushima cost annually again? How many years will these costs still occur? But hey: luckily it didn’t happen in Germany, but far away abroad... Nuclear energy is therefore neither clean nor safe. With the coal wasted here, you could really push the expansion of renewables and would consequently have a benefit for decades.

The new ones are 100% safe, meltdown and the like no longer possible. Not even a terrorist attack or anything else would be a problem. Feel free to take a look at dualFluid technology. Much of it is market ready.

Cutting down forests for wind turbines I consider nonsense. Likewise, disfiguring the landscape with them. Offshore is okay. But these are exactly the questions that need to be clarified.

Coal and oil are certainly no longer suitable for the future.

It wouldn't have had to be new nuclear power plants, just continuing to operate existing ones. I still don't understand why we put up with this and why it was especially a black/yellow government that came up with the idea.



100% safe? Just because no faults could be imagined in the FM EAs, 100% safety will never exist.

Then no "forests are [cut down] for wind turbines." If anything, corridors and clearings are made in forests. We barely have any real forest in Germany except where you'd have to land the wind turbine with Elon's rockets. The spoiling of landscapes has already been accomplished by monocultures and the extraction of fossil fuels in Germany itself.
