Germany could have gotten rid of coal by 2023 if it hadn't shut down its nuclear power plants.
The German nuclear phaseout (Atomausstieg) was decided in 2002, with the first plants shutting down in 2003 and 2005. After the Fukushima disaster in 2011, the process was accelerated. The last nuclear plants were closed in 2023.
The result has been more coal, more emissions, and more air pollution.
The graph below shows what things could have looked like if Germany had just kept its existing nuclear plants running. No new builds, just the same fleet operating like it did in the early 2000s.
On the left, the yellow line shows how nuclear generation declined over time. The dashed green line shows what nuclear output would have been if the phaseout had never happened. The shaded area between the lines is the lost clean electricity that had to be replaced with something else.
On the right, you see what happened with coal. The red line shows actual coal generation. The dashed line shows how much coal would have been needed if nuclear had stayed online. The shaded area here is the extra coal that was burned to fill the gap.
In a counterfactual world, Germany could have phased out coal completely by 2023. Instead, it kept coal to replace the lost nuclear generation.
Some people argue that this cannot be true because coal use has fallen. And yes, coal has gone down over time, but not as fast as it could have. Renewables and deindustrialisation helped push coal down, but a big part of that progress was cancelled out by the loss of nuclear. For years, Germany replaced clean power with fossil fuels instead of removing fossil fuels altogether.
Several studies over the last decade have looked at the health impact of the nuclear phaseout: Kaariaho (2025), Jarvis et al. (2022), Neidell et al. (2021), Kharecha et al. (2019). All of them find the same thing: hundreds of extra deaths every year from air pollution caused by coal that could have been avoided if nuclear power wasn't phased out.
This is not about nuclear versus renewables. It is about what happens when you remove clean energy before fossil fuels are gone. It should also serve as a warning to other countries considering the same path. Never phase out nuclear power if it means extending your reliance on fossil fuels for electricity.

Pedestrian dead after hit and run in Montreal's Lachine borough
> A 57-year-old woman is dead after she was involved in a hit-and-run Friday evening while walking
Not involved. **victim**. Tabarnak CBC stop blaming the victims.
@Cleverson @Martin @David Goldfield @Alex Hall I think those voices from oralux are the same voice, tyflotecnia has for NVDA, oralux has made these compatible with speech-dispatcher on linux and negotiated proper licensing.
As for the original question, NVDA uses variat called max for its built-in eSpeak-ng, so if you like this one, reconfigure your screen reader preferences of orca.

Blender used to put high quality versions of their open movies here:
download.blender.org/demo/movi…
But I can't find anything recent there. I can't find Spring or Sprite Fright, for instance.
I just want a little library of high quality 4k stuff to add to my jellyfin and peertube to demo on nice monitors and projectors, but all their links go to Youtube. Even their official peertube doesn't have high quality anything outside of big buck bunny 🤔
video.blender.org/w/dmhvQNzwBn…
Where did they put the other films (for download)? I am happy to torrent them, but I'm also happy to just download a zip somewhere. I just want them ideally in 4k, but I'll settle for 1080p if they REALLY don't exist in 4k for the public.
So they had an additional channel on peertube where they upload more open films!
peertube.tv/w/p/9AkqKddNEUgeu7…
And the rest I found on archive.org :3
I am unstoppable! I found every single film except one called Heros, but honestly it really really warms my heart to see such dedication to open source. Every single one of these is completely open source. You can download the assets and re-render it yourself if you want. The world is your oyster. They used to laugh at people using blender and say that it would never be a professional tool and now it is one of the tools to use for 3D work, and it's free! I love FOSS so much

All I can add [1] to @pluralistic's latest is that Apple are the primary force keeping us from having powerful, interoperable apps on phones through suppression of the web. It's not an accident, and @owa has the receipts [2]:

Nice post. This reminds me of the ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase system.
You can build one into a PostgreSQL database, but you can't edit data with non-ESRI tools because it handles IDs and relations in its own way. It's built like that because the same structure is used in their other GeoDatabase formats, but it has the convenient side-effect of locking the data into their tools.
Don’t give in to hopelessness.
Everything we do helps, no matter how small.
