One could have thought because Germany totally lost their credibility and face, they would now compensate by correcting their errors. While not a huge fan of nuclear (which is not as simple as nuclear fanboys make it sound like), I was genuinely expecting Germany to announce reopening of some NPPs due to the realities; or at very least cancellation of plans to shut down any operational unit within next 5-10 years. --- End quote --- afaiu it is not so simple to cancel shutdowns or reopening plants |

The initial plan to phase out nuclear generation had been folly, but to do so now is a razor's edge away from outright malice. |

It's was the only sensible thing to do... :palm: --- End quote --- No, it is to keep German people working by digging up coal from the soil. Germany has huge coal reserves. Fortunately winds are mostly coming from the North so all the SO2 blows to France and Italy. |
