I’d like to add that the agreement to shut down the nuclear power plants was made years in advance anyways. Shortly after Fukushima the german political parties voted for that, even the conservatives. Talks began even before that because there’s never been a definitive place for the final storage of fuel rods and other waste, this is still not solved for the current waste btw.

The only thing I can really agree on, is that Germany should’ve been much better prepared at that point. Everyone acted like this came out of thin air and something the current parties in power decided on a whim.

Adding to this, german energy providers wouldn’t even consider starting up the plants again:

HLI: Das ist die erste schlüssige Erklärung für mich warum die Geburtenrate so schnell fiel. Hab da zuvor noch nie einen Zusammenhang mit Verhütungsmitteln gesehen.
