The Nuceal phaseout never had anything to do with “expert reviewed data”. Everyone in germany knows that it was because of fukushima and the greens surging in poularity.
To stop the greens from winning even more regional election Angela merkel decided to phase out nuclear. Yes it was maybe a few years to early, but france is a prime example why you atleast shouldnt be trying to build more nuclear powerplants. They are expensive and the waste disposal is extremely controversial. Everybody wants nuclear until the plant gets built in their backyard, or the waste is deposited under them.
Just shut up and lets build more cheap wind turbines (especially in bavaria).
Ah yes, the green coal and gas from Germany. Definitely not sponsored by some coal and gas industries.
And they definitely don’t parrot propaganda about nuclear being “too expensive”, while happily importing expensive energy from France.
Wrong, in most part it was just the will of the people, be it smart or not

But do we want a country that’s part of the ‘axis of evil’ to have access to nuclear energy?
If we’re not careful, all those Döner meat spinners will be nuclear powered and next thing you know they rush for the Belgian border again..
Wait until they learn who are the biggest suppliers of uranium…
Also have you guys looked at the numbers of frech reactors that will go offline soon due to age vs the numbers of reactors currently getting build?
Do you shit eaters have no shame?
Oh shit. I thought I was on r/europe.
While maybe not wrong the article is at least misleading.
The phase out of nuclear was long decided in Germany. It was in fact the conservative party that ruled ultimately in favor for it since an overwhelming portion of the populous was in favor of it. (be it not well informed on the matter)
So the conservaties are crying about something that was decided when they where still in office knowing full well that no matter what the greens do right now they can complain about it.
You can be for or against nuclear in Germany however you like. But the green party not pulling out of it right now would be political suicide for them after they (and others) demanded it for so long.
Bruh, we’re not r/europe
Wow, i don’t think I’ve seen a post anger the Germans as much as this one seem to have. Well done lads!
Typical bavarian. Even if you ignore that the last three reactors didn’t even make up 5% of the German energy economy, the Atomausstieg was still decided by the Union, and the greens just didn’t choose to extend the deadline any further. Look around you. Renewables now make up more than 50% of our energy. Of course, you Bavarian with your 5 windmill generators and probably 0% solar power wouldn’t understand something like this and rather choose to be a populist.
Nuclear is economically not viable. Kust accept it already.
