Belgium restored nuclear power output Belgium’s two remaining nuclear reactors are back online, restoring 2GW of reliable power after months shut down. Under Bart De Wever, the government has also scrapped the nuclear phase-out law and lifted the ban on new reactors. Concrete action to reverse the damage inflicted by energy-illiterate fools. Germany threw away more than 20GW of nuclear capacity under Merkel, enough to supply roughly 30% of its electricity. Not just IMHO, 8GW can still be recovered at minimum cost and in short order. Merz must halt dismantling and launch a serious programme to restore capacity - asap. Removed equipment can be replaced. Political paralysis is a choice. That’s the difference between De Wever’s pragmatism and Merz’s catastrophic inability to correct past energy mistakes quickly and decisively, even with a highly capable Katherina Reiche as energy minister. Well done, @Bart_DeWever and team. @_FriedrichMerz @BMWE_
