Merkel is a conservative. Their party stopped the original long term nuclear phase out, the original long term renewables build phase. Germany had a lot of photovoltaic industry back then. But the conservatives stopped the funding instead of phasing it out slowly.

It’s all intentional mismanagement here for the profit of some energy CEOs and politicians

The countries without nuclear will deindustrialize and the countries with nuclear will outcompete them.

Where is the evidence for that claim?

Just because you say so doesn’t make it true

Wait what I am 100% pro renewables…

If nuclear somehow were the only option, I would support it. But it’s the worst option.

What are you talking about? Have you seen what kind of plants have been built world wide in the last 10 years?

How can nuclear fill that gap. Please explain

Fukushima isn’t the big argument against nuclear.

IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE

Warum downvotes??

How are you so uneducated?

With minimal storage, gas peaker plants that only run like a day per year and a grid spanning several countries it is a breeze to have wind and solar only. Probably not even all of the above are needed.

The locations have all outlived their life spans already. Also there is no more expertise in Germany, the old operators went to retire. Also it would take more than a decade to obtain new nuclear fuel. Also also also

It’s a wet dream of conservative politicians that want bribes from the electricity company ceos for implementing the worst kind of unneeded centralized power plant
