Nuclear isn't the final solution. But it beats burning brown coal by a large margin. This combined with the push to go full EV is a simply a bad strategy. They are "going" to shut down their fossil plants by 2045. But meanwhile the air pollution of these plants is also staggering seeing how much NO2 these guys put out. Sadly there are a vast amount of people applauding these decisions pollution ref facts coal mines

final solution.

Bad choice of words when talking about Germany.

Germany didn't have anywhere near the amount of nuclear power plants or lifetime left in them at the end here that keeping them running would be even worth discussing and building new ones would be the kind of thing that only matters in 2045 because that is how long it would take.
