How German Farmers Protest

[polo1665]

The Frenchmen probably would, too.

You kind of remind me of another member that was from the eastern shore. Maybe its the water.

Your name isn't Frank is it?

I thought they looked French!!:laughing:

Theyre German.

The stupid thing about this protest is that its GERMAN waste coming back from earlier reprocessing activities carried out in France.

I suppose the protestors think the French should be stuck with the HLW generated from GERMANY's waste since the Germans lost their stomach for Nuclear.

IMHO the Germans are making a short sighted, politically motivated decision by getting out of nuclear. But hey, coal is "clean" now, right?

 

[EHR]

Germany is leading the world on renewables.

Even when germans try to do good things they still end up being ****'ish in their execution.

Germany has roughly 81.5 million people as of 2011. It's much easier to take a country like that and put it on "renewable" than say the some odd 300 mil we have here in the US. Not to mention basically not having any energy reserves makes it an easier switch as well. And I thought they reprocessed the nuclear material and reused it somehow?

You are correct. The picture was taken in Dannenberg.

Just in case there was ever any doubt, I was joking, thus the laughing smiley.

As for being "from the Eastern Shore, I'm from NC, I live in the Eastern Shore. Not sure what you're implying...poor Frank left this material world a while back, and didn't leave me a penny. But I've spent plenty of Mitzi's money over the years.

where's waldo ? :laughing:

Forget Waldo. Wheres Fritz

Indeed they are.

BUT, there still has to be some base generating capacity. Nuclear provides that clean base load generating capacity.

Now this base load will be carried by coal or other fossil fuel, but my money would be on coal because they have vast quantities of it.

Talk about organization. . . How did they get all those tractors with quick-attach loaders and nobody showed up with their FEL bucket?

Maybe there was a "check your bucket" sign at the gate.
