Merkel went with popular opinion at the time, which was very much against nuclear power. I still see "Atomkraft? NEIN!" stickers in places. Yes I agree that Germany has a weird relationship with science. Homeopathy is very big here.

Nothing wrong with plant-based nature remedies, but they don't get the rigorous testing that allopathic medicines get.
