New nuclear reactors are also not here yet. They might become ready in 8+ years if started now.

So the solution is simple. Nuclear has its place. Power2Gas too. Build and invest in both. And in the meantime, use what we have without ideolgical eye patches.

Do you have any affiliations with "Power2Gas"?
Please respond to my argument instead of implying bad faith.

I can sharpen my argument even further:

Existing nuclear reactors - keep them going. They are here today.

Solar - leverage its decentralized, bottom up expansion by the people that can use their own roofs, reduce beaurocratic hurdles. Its expansion does not have to wait 8 years. The products are here today.

Power 2 Gas - celebrate existing products on the market. They are here today.

All these things are here today and part of a solution which contains many parts. I welcome each and every betterment, because we will need it.

You on the other hand are dismissing key tools and instead focus on one thing that is not here today and will maybe be ready in 8+ years.
