Except the world's largest lignite burning power station is in Poland, not in Germany. And Poland, being Poland, has squandered a lot of goodwill lately.
Your train of thought halts a few stations too early. Driving coal prices up will make coal electricity too expensive which will lead to further closing of coal power plants.
So far the humanity has been lucky. But luck is most certainly not an inherent trait of nuclear power plants. Especially given that all these power stations that did have an accident - yes, the one in Chernobyl as well - were sold as completely safe when built.
It also only exists on paper and when chosing between two non-existent designs one might as well go directly for fusion as the more promising option. At least ITER is already in construction.
How many actually running, delivering power to the grid, thorium reactors can you name? We have tried these here in Germany, turns out they are nice on paper, but not so nice in reality. Matter of fact, one of these is the highest contaminated reactor site in the world if measured by beta radiation. And thanks to the 14C half life of almost 6000 years it will stay this way for a very long time.
If you think nuclear power is too expensive now, then you wouldn't want to know how expensive it will be with fuel enriched to the same level the naval reactors need. This is the main reason there are no civilian nuclear powered ships except a couple of Russian ice breakers.
Nothing really stood this year, forcing me to mostly rewatch old stuff. Well okay, attack on titan finally had a couple of good moments with the third season, on the other hand, steins; gate 0 was even more a disappointment than expected.
It seems that most of my favourite anime is from the previous decade.
Only if you are a fan of telenovelas. Because honestly, this is how most of the third season feels like. Pure melodrama with a sprinkle of alternative history.
I personally hated it back then as a kid, but now, three decades later, looking at people who never have moved beyond the town of their birth, I am grateful for the experience and the perspective it gave me.
There is simply zero reason to invade since the Baltic states are already in the NATO. Ukraine and Georgia both wanted to, but cannot anymore since the NATO statutes indirectly prevent countries with unresolved territorial conflicts from joining.

Any hydroelectric power station with a dam can function as a battery. Low flow during the day, high flow during the night.

Nah, I distinctly remember discussions here about how evil China is during Dubya rule.
Hah, look here. And an article by Jon Katz of all people:

I think I am getting nostalgic. All your base and so on.

That canard again. Soviet pipelines used analog control systems, not some fancy software.

ORLY?
How come Germany burns less coal now than twenty years ago?
Dumbass.
That and there is a limit of how much celery humans are willing to eat.

My first sentence stands even more now.
How many actually running, delivering power to the grid, molten salt thorium reactors can you name?
THTR was much newer and still didn't work.
If you behave like on the Wikipedia, I'll just send you there.

It is kind of funny to see a super power pissing their pants trembling in terror before a couple of thousands refugees.
Several workers have died during the cleanup of the power stations.
No sex whatsoever, even for reproduction.

Ask them how successful they are.
Battletech is a recent game, but can be quite difficult at times.
