I’m surprise they think they can get the economics to work. It basically means borrowing a shit load of money that is only going to start seeing returns in 15 years, and is, under current conditions probably not going to break even for another 15.
All the while the alternatives are getting cheaper and cheaper every year.
My prediction is that they postpone the dates a few times as they struggle to fund them and then the plan vanishes, never to be heard from again.
They probably spent too much time at the reddit comments section with all the experts advocating for "green" nuclear. That reality distortion field is strong
I’m not opposed to “Green nuclear” on principle. Nuclear would have been a great way to bridge the time from the Rio conference 1992 to the time we figured out how to make renewables work at scale. Which is about right now.
But not before a bunch of their cronies get rich on government pork and they get a shitload of kickbacks. All those nuke programs are snake oil at this point.
Was ich halt absolut nicht verstehe ist das die Polen (die ja zurecht Angst vor einem Russischen Angriff haben) keinerlei Bedenken wegen Atomkraftwerken haben nachdem wir gesehen haben was in der Ukraine rund um Saporischschja passiert ist.
Klar kann man mit genügend krimineller Energie damit Schindluder treiben. Aber einerseits hätten die Polen dann noch ganz andere Probleme (und der Fokus liegt somit darauf, böswillige Akteure draußen zu halten), andererseits genügt es bei geeigneten SMRs nicht, sie von Kühlwasser zu trennen, wenn sie z.B. gar keins brauchen.
The (apptly named) PiS party is in power. They are conservative, isolationists, hyper-religious wanna-be dictators. They neither understand, nor care about how unrealistic their goals are.
