These "premium" German brands are all committing suicide. Rejecting electric cars, rejecting nuclear power, designing cars that look like puke, and doing everything to monetize your use of the car.

With incompetent leadership like this, those 8k workers being laid off from BMW is just the beginning.

German car brands are rejecting nuclear power?

[-] mobyduck648@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

I was really looking forward to my luxury German nuclear-powered car as well >:(

[-] OleFoFa@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

You don't see them launching cars powered by their own onboard reactors, do you?

[-] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

You are right!

suicide […] rejecting nuclear power

Uhuh. That plant in Romania that had to shut down, because the rivers are too hot.

[-] mirshafie@europe.pub 6 points 2 weeks ago

You're right, they should keep burning coal. Clean, beautiful coal, works no matter how hot it gets!

As if there's not already entire countries with mostly renewable.

[-] mirshafie@europe.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, there's not. Countries like Denmark which pretty much only produces wind power is completely reliant on importing energy from countries with a diverse energy mix, without which they would have blackouts every week.

And why is it so hot, I wonder

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

CO², nuclear didn't help much against it.

don't worry, they'll keep stoking nationalist paranoia and shift to weapon production. What's the worst that could happen?
