    This anti-nuclear argument is bullshit considering the context. Germany dicomissioned perfectly fine and working nuclear stations without having any better alternative essentially bringing back the worst coal mining and processing to compensate and creating a disastrous overall net loss in terms of environmental impact and energy generation efficiency. It’s a moot point now since they fucked themselves years ago, it’s no longer feasible to fix this and renewable sources are slowly overtaking coal.

      Lol, what are you talking about? Most of the german nuclear power plants were built before 1980 and would not have met modern safety and operational requirements. Only three can be considered “perfectly fine and working”, but tbh. even the owners don’t know whether they would have passed the mandatory inspections in 2019 and 2039.
