    Its is much easier to have a mix

    A mix of more than just coal and nuclear, right?
    So other power sources do exits and we should use them?

      @geissi
      of course a mix including renewable, there are a lot of prevision plan on what the best mix should be and fine tuning is hard, but it always include renewable in a large way. I argue to avoid gas and coal as much as possible, and using nuclear instead. Plus renewable of course.

        And that is all I’m arguing for.

        The original comment said, people who disregard nuclear are burning coal, I claim you can use other energy sources as well.
        Nothing more.
