<p>So do you hold a grudge or why are you talking in the fucking past? Conservatives lacking a spine is now "they phased out Nuclear due to populist concerns" ok.<p>Is your solution to look in the past and blame everyone to solve the problems today?<p>Of course in Hindsight phasing out nuclear so fast was a mistake. Does that solve our problems now?</p>

<p>I agree on that fully - but that is a completely different point. The Lifetime extension and the costs associated to that are not clear to me. But of course letting an already paid project run is a no brainer if the costs are not blowing up.<p>I don't like the assumption that this calculation was not done by the book due to the greens being in charge of that. It's always the question: Lifetime extension can cost a lot and maybe it only buys 5 years. Basically I assume there was a € price and it was too high to pay. Maybe CDU would've payed that price but I don't think either is wrong.</p>

<p>Wow - a nuclear-head in the wild.<p>Tell me please how building nuclear plants today will solve our problems in the 15-20 years it takes to build them.<p>Or how the conservative party did phase out nuclear? They were 16 years at the helm, why couldn't they stop it?<p>But no the fringe party is at fault for everything. That rhetoric is both completely unfounded and basically far-right propaganda. Congratulations - you got targeted and manipulated into a single issue voter.</p>

<p>China: per capita about 1.8x the global average CO2<p>United States: per capita about 3x the global average CO2<p>Projections for China is that these numbers will go down massively over the next 10 years.
How is that going for the US for "lowest environmental standards in the 1st world"? Please get over your 20 year old views of china. They get their act together while the US shits the bed.<p>We can talk about 50% new car registrations are EVs in china and how the US is doing?<p>Or how ~60% of all renewable capacity added globally by 2030 will be in China? Or how it is already at 50%?</p>

<p>That's the low quality comments that ruin everything.<p>China connected 4 solar panels per SECOND last year. China is also has 265x the population and has growing energy demands. They build much less coal than they phase out.<p>All you can muster is a "But uh china is doing something so you are irrelevant" which is neither helpful nor correct. You are supporting the status quo and support not changing a damn thing.</p>

<p>Working for german medium-sized companies:<p>It's really that the upper management does not appreciate change over departments if it's not their idea.<p>There is always the mentality that "why fix it if it works" where you actually have to wait for people to go to their pension to really grab a process and drive change.<p>You then get partially digitalized processes where digital native departments are concerned but they always have to solve the problem of interacting with a bunch of legacy systems and workflows, which in itself is so much harder and more inefficient.</p>

<p>>Some observers present privacy-preserving age proofs involving a third party, such as the government, as a solution, but they inherit the same structural flaw: many users who are legally old enough to use a platform do not have government ID.<p>So there is absolutely no way to change that and give out IDs from the age of 14? You can already get an ID for children in Germany <a href="https://www.germany.info/us-de/service/reisepass-und-personalausweis/personalausweis-kinder-1216042" rel="nofollow">https://www.germany.info/us-de/service/reisepass-und-persona...</a><p>This is a problem that has to be solved by the government and not by private tech companies.<p>This is a lazy cop out to say "we have tried nothing and we are all out of ideas"</p>
