Complete bullshit. Our energy mix never contained a large percentage of nuclear power and most of the Russian gas issues are with heating, not electricity generation.

No one mentioned electricity, the point is about energy, like the one needed for heating

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah, the one nobody with a gas heater in their home uses nuclear power for.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Nuclear fueled Home heating

[–] daisyKutter@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where do you think a portion of electricity for electric heaters comes from?

From nuclear not anymore in Germany

And that's totally fine.

The share of electricity generated from renewable energies in the grid load in Germany was 56 percent in 2023 (2022: 48 percent).

Just yesterday, 7 of the most CO2-intensive coal-fired power plants in Germany were shut down forever.
