<p>This is a really sexy explorer.<p>I love it. Love how snappy it is, love the thought that went into it, love the dark design. Awesome. I'll keep using the beta at work as long as I can but unfortunately I won't get funds to buy it for work. It's too bad that you can get updates only for one year with the normal license. Would have considered buying it for the price for private use but 200 is just too much for a file explorer.</p>

<p>Same thing here in German military where instead of saying "zwei" because it might sound like "drei", you say "zwo".<p>It's quite useful even though its a small problem compared to all those problems which happen because of the way you read numbers above 20. "Twenty one" becomes "one and twenty". It's not as bad as French but still a pain and I've seen Germans mixing it up also.</p>

<p>>1. France isn't an isolated country.<p>What is this supposed to mean? Do you want to imply that the German Green party for example, dictates the politics in France??<p>> 2. That "lobby" is decades of various actvists fear-mongering and politicians afraid of unpopular decisions.<p>Nuclear is popular in France...your own quote says it.<p>Not wanting to live near a nuclear plant is hardly an argument against nuclear power itself. You are twisting the facts.<p>> Follow the link above for a description of anti-nuclear activism<p>I did. The newest info on this powerful lobby:<p>> In March 2014, police arrested 57 Greenpeace protesters who used a truck to break through security barriers and enter the Fessenheim nuclear in eastern France.<p>This is hilarious. THIS is supposed to be that powerful anti-nuclear lobby in France? 57 Greenpeace protesters? Are you joking?</p>

<p>Overprovisioned renewables? Hilarious sentence :D<p>As I have said: the transformation is not finished yet. Germany did almost nothing during Merkels time and renewables have still generated more than they lost due to the shutdown of nuclear.<p>Meaning: Germany would STILL burn coal even if they'd have kept nuclear.<p>It's not that hard to understand if you know the facts and the facts are that Germany has a law to phase out coal completely while expanding renewables. A law which few (no other?) countries even have. Even France will keep on burning coal when the last plant is closed in Germany.</p>

<p>My claim is that the conspiracy theory that you shared here and which is based upon that scanned document is just that. A conspiracy theory.<p>I never said there were no anti-nuclear movement.<p>There are many and in every country they have their own reasons and are more or less influential. For example: there hasn't been a anti-nuclear movement as influential as it was in Germany. This is why Germany was able to replace nuclear with renewables and push it's development for the whole planet. However, no German politician participated in your conspiracy.<p>Your pitiful attempt at derailing only say something about yourself.</p>

<p>> Funny how today they were burning 20GW of coal because they replaced 20GW of nuclear power with renewables.<p>This is a lie.<p>Germany has been reducing coal and will keep on doing so until there is none.

<p>> Even now France's nuclear provides more energy than anything it has, and France routinely exports energy to Germany who have shattered their nuclear power plants and are now busy burning coal and importing electricity to cover the needs.<p>Adding to what cycomanic wrote already:<p>Germany has replaced what it lost on the nuclear shutdown with renewables years ago. They also reduced coal and even have a law to phase it out completely. The fact that Germany imported nuclear power doesn't say anything about the fact that they HAD to import it. Just like anyone connected to the grid, they buy when it's cheap and sell when it's expensive. Due to Germany's mix they're flexible there while France has to keep on running and selling as much as they can since they're losing money. See EDF.</p>
