I can say that because we neither have the time nor the money to sink it into nuclear plants. We have green tech. It's cheap, we're building capacity like crazy.

Even China builds more renewable than nuclear. And I'd rather not look at authoritarian dictatorships for tips on how to handle building regulations.
Power to gas, water pumps, heat storage and battery storage are viable alternatives. There are many days already where we over produce green energy. Why sink hundreds of billions into nuclear plants when we could use the energy we already produce instead?
Nuclear power is all but efficient.
No. Take a good look at France and their nuclear strategy. Both maintaining old reactors and building new ones is extremely costly. Building times are to be measured in decades. Nuclear power is not economically viable nor is it a solution to the climate catastrophe.
Returning to nuclear power in Germany is nothing but a pointless waste of tax money.
If there is any paper trail at all, they stand no chance in court. They wouldn't be the first American company learning that the hard way in Europe.

Home assistant is great and apart from voice recognition, its infinitely more powerful than any corporate home automation product. Voice is tough to do locally and on low powered hardware, but its getting there.
Can you back that claim up at all? Qwant is not owned by Huawei. They don't even hold shares as far as I can tell.
That excellent gag is how I discovered hbomberguy some years ago
"Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?"

Look at the desaster that is Flamanville 3, for instance.
The cour de comptes is pretty clear about it, too: https://www.ccomptes.fr/sites/default/files/2025-01/20250114-La-filiere-EPR%20-une-dynamique-nouvelle-des-risques-persistants_0.pdf
I agree that coal is important to phase out, even moreso than nuclear power. Germany was wrong to leave nuclear before coal.
But building new reactors is an utter waste of time and money.
