    Why are Bulgaria and Serbia just gone?

    Also not having borders on the map makes it hard to read.

    Look at Svalbard. It’s only have… coastlines, with very few land inside. Nothing to say!

    And Philippines become a single island, instead of different large small islands.

    Not exactly renewable but these countries generate more than 35% from nuclear power: Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.

    Imo it should be considered green energy because it is derived from a long-term source and there's practically no CO2 emissions. The only issue is the depleted fuel... which in comparison to how many die from air pollution is marginally lower.

    You can add Fukushima too. Though these should serve as examples of how to improve instead of abandoning.

    Fukushima actually went really well. The government responded exactly as they should have. Of all the deaths that occurred, Theres a very low chance that even one of them occurred due to radiation. It was the Tsunami that killed people.

    Yeah but we are talking about irrationalé here. Fukushima singlehandedly sped up Germany's denuclearisation and for a decade all but three reactors closed. Because it is "this scary technology that blows up every 25 years or so, we shouldn't have harnessed the power of the atom" instead of saying TEPCO and JAEA should have insisted on more rigid standards when tsunamis with such magnitude are bound to happen. On the other hand Japan learned from the Soviet mistakes and made sure that people didn't get hurt cuz of the meltdown...

    France is Nuclear to me that's good enough. I know for some thats not acceptable, but the output to input is so positive.

  • 6 points lizzy_tachibana

    Nuclear is not renewable but it is the greenest non-renewable source, so imo it should be represented separately. (Countries like Bulgaria and France produce their electricity mainly from nuclear sources as an example).

    That being said, I feel deeply insulted by Bulgaria being part of the black sea, same with Serbia. But I guess NZ treatment for the lands you forget

    And even then if we ever figure fusion out it'll be the nuclear countries like France in the best position to utilise it

    1 points lizzy_tachibana

    erm... no. Fusion and fission are fundamentally different in terms of design and use. The 17 nuclear reactors France has don't give it advantage...
