    Funny how many countries are seeing the light. Also funny how our Marxist government refuses to show any sense and persists withpolicies that are bankrupting our country...

    Indeed, if true it would be a surprise, Tony. The article you have
    given a reference to purports to have been written by a Frank Bergman,
    and to come from ''Slay News'', which may be slaynews.com; a simple
    search for the site however leads first to https://healthfeedback.org/outlet/slay-news/

    Perhaps you could try to find any conformation of such a major change
    in policy by the Swedish government . . . . .

    In the meantime, New Zealand has of course other legitimate reasons
    for avoiding the use of nuclear power, and good reasons (such as
    cost!) for trying to avoid the use of coal.

    Same as their Covid response. It is not going to work and we can not mess around with something that is not going to work.

    Many other countries will back peddle when it is clear even to a fool that

    Solar and wind have environmental issues. Read costs among other things.

    Yes there is a lot of deliberate misinformation around, and there are
    a lot of fools that believe it without checking. I have asked Tony to
    see if he can find any evidence that this is not dis-information; in
    the meantime it is appropriate to remain cautious but to withhold
    judgment. Regarding Covid, Sweden did indeed make a mistake and
    changed their initial response - they paid for that with higher deaths
    after they weakened controls but still did not experience as bad a
    Covid experience as other countries such as the USA and UK.

    So I believe it reasonable to give Tony a bit of time to justify his
    initial post - yes it does appear to be wrong, but I can understand
    why they could be considering using nuclear power rather than some
    other means of power generation.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=645mCo-GZYI

    Indeed you may well have spotted yet another deliberately misleading
    video - there do seem to be a lot of them, don't there?

    On a quick look to seek affirmation or otherwise, I did find this: https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/germany-drops-meat-consumption-to-record-low/

    Perhaps meat is getting too expensive for many consumers in Europe?

    Germany does appear to have lower meat consumption than many countries
    - the UK, Australia and New Zealand all have higher consumption per
    capita

    https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-meat-type?country=CHN~USA~IND~ARG~PRT~ETH~JPN~BRA~OWID_WRL~ESP~DEU~FRA~GBR~NZL

    Regarding use of nuclear power, I believe Germany has been using
    nuclear power for a long time. They are very dependent on oil from
    Russia, which has possibly been a bit of a problem in the last few
    years . . .

    First the Swedish Parliament website was down at the time I write
    this:

    https://www.riksdagen.se/en/

    It appears to still be having issues

    Secondly I found numerous media websites reporting along these lines:

    https://tinyurl.com/2wm97whr

    That url required me to pay a subscription to see more than the
    headline. The headline does not indicate that Sweden has dropped
    energy targets, just one method of achieving them.


    You really need to make a bit more effort to hide your ideological
    bias before you post.

    You should note that reneging on past agreements is more common than
    you seem to be aware of.

    All I was seeking is confirmation or evidence that the claim was not
    true. I have not found that evidence, nor haas anyone found it.
    You have failed to look or have failed to do so competently.
    There are many mentions of Sweden abandoning the net zero goal - just ask >someone to show you how to use google. Anybody will do.

    And yet you cannot post any such link - your claim, but not your responsibility - "Right", Tony?




    BTW the above link lands us on COVID matters.

    In the meantime, New Zealand has of course other legitimate reasons >>>>>> for avoiding the use of nuclear power, and good reasons (such as
    cost!) for trying to avoid the use of coal.

    Solar and wind have environmental issues. Read costs among other things. >>>>Of course they do - there is no method of electricity generation that >>>>does not.

    That is strange. I had no problem whatever and I have never visited
    this site before to my knowledge. I certainly don't subscribe to it.

    A simple Google search will reveal multiple instances from reputable
    news websites.

    I posted the original link, I do not need to post any more.
    And keep the politics out of this non-political thread.
    Just google it dickshit!
    And report back to the adults in this group.

    Funny how many countries are seeing the light. Also funny how our Marxist government refuses to show any sense and persists withpolicies that are bankrupting our country...
    What other countries are you referring to, John Bowes?
    Google is our friend Rich. Pity your technical skills don't make it so for you...

    So centuries ago there was life and industry in a place that until recently was covered in ice. Seems it was warmer then than now. Yet apparently, according to the greedy mob the science is settled. Yeah right!
