These "premium" German brands are all committing suicide. Rejecting electric cars, rejecting nuclear power, designing cars that look like puke, and doing everything to monetize your use of the car.
With incompetent leadership like this, those 8k workers being laid off from BMW is just the beginning.
German car brands are rejecting nuclear power?
I was really looking forward to my luxury German nuclear-powered car as well >:(
You don't see them launching cars powered by their own onboard reactors, do you?
You are right!
don't worry, they'll keep stoking nationalist paranoia and shift to weapon production. What's the worst that could happen?
Uhuh. That plant in Romania that had to shut down, because the rivers are too hot.
And why is it so hot, I wonder
CO², nuclear didn't help much against it.
You're right, they should keep burning coal. Clean, beautiful coal, works no matter how hot it gets!
As if there's not already entire countries with mostly renewable.
Nope, there's not. Countries like Denmark which pretty much only produces wind power is completely reliant on importing energy from countries with a diverse energy mix, without which they would have blackouts every week.
They also need cooling for exactly the same reason and pretty much the same amount for the same power generation.
