Very optimistic assumptions on investment costs for nuclear, assuming <= 5000 $/kW by 2035 for US and EU. Where do those come from? Recent projects (Flamanville, Hinkley Point, Olkiluoto, Vogtle) were more like 8000-15000 $/kW, so these assumptions seem quite doubtful.

Stunned to see the extremely bullish nuclear power deployment in @iea.org #WEO2025: +30% in under "current policies", i.e. a World without any further climate policies? This is hard to buy, given the poor track record of nuclear in past decades, with huge cost overruns and delay.

Demand flexibility would be particularly important for Germany - given ambitious wind and solar build-out, and growing potential for flexible demands from heat pumps and electric cars. However, still way behind most other European countries regarding smart meter rollout. A costly policy failure!

Das Problem: Die Erreichung der Klimaziele für Gebäude und Verkehr in der direkten Verantwortung der Einzelstaaten. Gerade hier hat Deutschland besonders große Probleme. Es drohen Kosten in Milliardenhöhe für den Ankauf von Emissionsrechten aus anderen EU-Staaten, weil die Ziele verfehlt werden.
