On the Germany Nuclear thing, I have to say I‘m surprised how polarizing it is. 
Honestly, I don‘t care pro/contra, Nuclear is probably fine. Still think there are nuances to the German way.
But it seems a lot of people here are Nuclear-pilled without much reflection. It’s a culture war topic.

IDK it seems a pretty objective topic to me 🤔

Either you focus on improving nuclear waste treatment

Or you go back to coal and fossil fuels 🙃

Plus they had to heavily relay on Russian gas during a major global conflict with them 

How more objective can you get than this? 😅

It is a fact that “nuclear and renewables are incompatible” but the Green party failed to account for the energy gap

If you remove Nuclear as quickly as Germany did but do not create enough renewable energy to replace it 

Then you just made the carbon footprint worse… even if you use foreign gas

No, this discounts a new important points

- Nuclear and renewables are incompatible
- U can‘t just transition Germany in the short term to 100% Nuclear given costs and existing infra
- Russian gas was an intentional German policy to apeace Russia and it failed (but arguing beyond that is hindsight-bias)
