Just for comparison, to replace its nameplate capacity of 1430 MW you would need 286 wind turbines 5 MW each, occupying 476 km2 in total. That's around the area shown on this screenshot, all filled with wind turbines.
But then, that's *nameplate* only, so 100%. In reality, on-shore wind has ~20% capacity factor, so the area needs to be increased 5x to *actually* get the same amount of energy (kWh).
2383 km2 of wind turbines to replace a single 1430 MW nuclear power plant.
This is Grohnde #nuclear power plant. In February 2021 it produced 400 TWh low-carbon electricity since it started in 1984, with no accidents or leaks.
The plant occupies 0.4 km2 and is surrounded by farm fields.
As April is nearing, the topic of Smoleńsk air disaster in 2010 reactivates in Poland 🇵🇱
A year after the crash it was 100% clear that the plane shouldn't even have left Warsaw by law, and certainly shouldn't have attempted landing in dense fog.
It was entirely avoidable, caused by a sequence of risky misjudgements and classified as "controlled flight into terrain".

Auschwitz Memorial Museum:
20 March 1933 | A French Jewish girl, Freda Rojzner, was born in Paris.
She was deported to #auschwitz in February 1944 and murdered in a gas chamber.
@_markel___@twitter.com has just published results of his research with Maxim Goryachy and Dmitry Sklyarov where they found "found two undocumented x86 instructions in Intel CPUs which completely control microarchitectural state". Which basically means they can write anything to the CPU, modify microcode etc 🤷
One more fossil gas power plant in Bavaria 🇩🇪 to compensate for lack of power supplies caused by "nuclear exit"
CO2 emissions of nuclear: 12 gCO2eq/kWh
CO2 emissions of fossil gas: 490 gCO2eq/kWh

"We are the only highly industrialised country, which at the same time wants to get rid of nuclear energy and coal. Those who use a huge amount of nuclear energy, such as Macron, have an easier task to replace fossil fuels"
Did you possibly ask yourself, why "at the same time"? 🤯
"Two critical numbers in the X-rays of the front cover, of 462 years and 442 years, accurately represent cycles of Venus and Saturn respectively. When observed from Earth, the plants’ cycles sometimes reverse their motions against the stars. Experts must track these cycles over long time-periods to predict their positions. "

14 March 1936 | A Jewish boy, Pal Szenes, was born in Subotica (Szabadka).
In June 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
