Switzerland To Keep Nuclear Plants Operating For Longer Than Planned

Switzerland’s nuclear power plant operators plan to keep the facilities operational for longer than initially planned,

...

Switzerland has four nuclear reactors, which generate up to 40% of its electricity

...

the energy crisis and concerns about the reliability of electricity supply in the country has prompted utilities to look to extend the lives of the reactors as long as the extension of the operations is found to be safe.

Axpo Holding and Alpiq Holding have increased the planned lifespan for their nuclear power plants to 60 years from a previous target of 50 years, which means they could be in operation until around 2040,

...

Alpiq is also considering an extension to as many as 80 years

...

Several countries in Europe also plan to keep nuclear power use for longer, including France, a large nuclear power generating country.

Liberalism is a mental illness and here’s the proof... nuclear power is a HUGE untapped source of “carbon-free” energy that libs are always screaming about, yet they have fought it tooth and nail and killed it in this country.

Idiots.

So the country which is home to CERN, is concerned that it might effect global warming…

To hold both thoughts at once is mind bending.
More likely, pandering to libs takes a pragmatic backseat.

Switzerland is also Satan’s physical throne on earth. Once one sees it, it all makes sense.
