Rough translation: "137 C People are trying to shut down nuclear power plants "

the deadly illusion that nuke power helps alleviate climate chaos is balanced by its definitive economic failure.

all atomic reactors emit Carbon 14, massive waste heat & unmanageable radioactive wastes.

they also cost double or more all projections for wind, solar & battery backup.

of the 4 reactors attempted in the US since 2000, 2 at VC Summer totally failed, costing $9 billion in pure waste. the 2 at Vogtle, GA, came in years late & at 2x the promised cost, nearing $40 billion.

SMRs (silly mythological rip-offs) have already failed, will never compete with renewables & have had their projected market upended by DeepSeek & the realization that data centers will not need the massive quantities of electricity the industry has been scamming for a phony hyper-powered future.

meanwhile wind, solar, geothermal & batteries continue to plummet in price while soaring in efficiency.

nukes are dead. & unless the US ups its game to compete with China in green tech, including electric cars, so is the American global economy.
