Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sweden needs a better domestic pricing model for sure. One that doesn't punish households (who has historically voted for responsible energy policies and therfore created a great surplus) so that energy producers can have super high margins.
Also, Germany really needs to get their shit together when it comes to fossil free energy. Not just rely on countries like France and Sweden to solve energy for them. However, German industry will probably be nuked as tariffs enter the world scene, so maybe the demand will go down.
You mean net exporting Energy to France because their shitty Nuclear Plants didn't Work Last Winter because of Maintenance and Last Summer because it was too hot for them?
Net export does not matter here. What matters is that you have a stable system which does not rely on fossil fuels (which is the case for Germany). Germany has the shittiest energy system in western Europe. Destroying the country and the planet because some weed smoking fucktard had "intuitions" about nuclear.
Yes the French Electric System would have collapsed without German Exports Last year (the French Heat with Electricity). It does matter
It does not matter because the German production, grid and export is completely dependent on coal, gas, and even cheaper imports. And there is no serious plan to get rid of that dependence. Sure, French nuclear was down so they had to import. But that is a consequence of too few reactors. One should have enough nuclear so that one have redundancy for unplanned shutdowns and maintenance. They for sure understood that back in the day. Also, the French exception is German normal. It really isn't a fair comparison. And that's pretty much my point.
The new Reactors in France surely produce a Lot of Cheap Energy. Sure the construction alone was only 6x more expensive than planned, but I'm sure it's still a bargain at 20 Billion Euros
