This year, because of the ignorance, fear and superstition of the anti-nuke cults, Germany will be dumping an extra 500 million metric tons of dangerous fossil fuel waste into the earth's atmosphere.

Last year, 2010, the world set a record for dumping dangerous fossil fuel waste, at 30.5 billion metric tons, as I noted in a recent diary.

Recently in this space, an ignorant, fearful and superstitious anti-nuke - a um, sock puppet who once wrote here under another name - published a diary claiming that anti-nuke rhetoric was not about coal, which is, of course, a pretty bald lie, since there is one, and only one form of energy that has a higher capacity utilization (reflecting baseload use) than coal plants, which operate at approximately 72% capacity utilization. These are nuclear plants. Nuclear plants are the most reliable - as well as the cleanest - power plants in the world, with capacity utilization of up to 90%.

The main thing that shuts nuclear power plants is fear, ignorance and superstition.

The anti-nuke liars in Germany are now coming forth with the results of their scheme:

Germany to Fund New Coal and Gas Plants with Climate Funds.
