The political (not technical) decision to close nuclear power plants in Spain will accelerate the impoverishment that Spaniards are already suffering.
A few facts:
1) The cost of closing the plants will be 22600M€.
2) The demolition and recycling will emit 28MTn CO2 .
3) Siemens Gamesa (which manufactures wind turbines) is bankrupt, but the Government of Spain is subsidizing 600000€ for each worker that is not fired.
4) In Galicia and Asturias (areas in the north and northwest of Spain) forests are being cut to put wind turbines.
It is a subsidized business and economically they are not profitable.
It is very sad that the US Government cannot be trusted but this is not the first time this has happened, the German Chancellor's phone was tapped.
On the other hand Spain started a revolutionary process of a constituent nature, the government of President Sanchez is already of a clearly totalitarian type.

A disaster without equal.
