Germany is replacing nuclear power with coal and candles. They’re gonna party like it’s 1899!

[Drop Dead Fred]

These guys are insane! There's no way that coal and candles are better for the environment than nuclear power. Coal kills far more people in just one year than nuclear power has ever killed. And candles are about as backwards and inefficient as you can get.

And they're doing all of this in the name of environmentalism. What a bunch of scientifically illiterate, brain dead idiots!

Germany needs to restart those nukes before the freeze.

Fuck-em, they made their choice.

That said a good candle lantern in a confined space (like a tent) will keep you from freezing to death. They just need to pitch a tent inside and ventilate.

Easier said than done. Nukes are extremely complicate and would need to be inspected with a fine-toothed comb in order to safely restart them.
