If only Austria would do nuclear than the grid would not need an expansion and electricity would be way cheaper. Or alternatively fracking could be used to increase the domestic gas production. There are plenty of reserves.


Surely Increased amount of small to medium solar installations would reduce the need for major transmission lines even more?


And where exactly does Austria plan to dump its nuclear waste? Which beautiful mountain should become unclimbable?

Nuclear waste storage has way higher public acceptance problems than power cables.


You took the wrong bait. Fracking is far worse for mountains than the relatively tiny amount of impact that nuclear waste has. Look it up.


I don’t disagree. But good luck explaining that to the general public.
