What I suspect will happen is more power will be imported from nations that flagrantly pollute the environment.
The Chinese might be on to something with putting the engineers in charge. Sometimes the public really doesn't know what the fuck they're doing, and should be completely ignored.

Don't believe everything the nuclear power fans tell you. Sometimes the engineers really do know what they are doing.
- bluedanieru 15y agoThey're halting approvals until the safety standards have been revised. That's hardly the same thing.

- Xixi 15y agoI don't think Germany is surrounded by countries that flagrantly pollute the environment. What is more likely is that more power will be imported from France, which massively use nuclear energy (>75% of the national electricity production), and doesn't intend (so far) to move to something else.
- alexqgb 15y agoUm, have you SEEN what goes on in Eastern Europe?
- Xixi 15y agoIt's inefficient to carry electricity over long distances, so I don't see Germany buying energy from say Ukraine. That said it seems that Poland is big on coal and crude oil...
- alexqgb 15y agoMy point exactly. From what I understand, reliance on Poland's (exceedingly dirty) coal-burning capacity is a big part of Germany's plan to wean itself off nuclear power.
- MediaBehavior 15y ago> and should be completely ignored. How about: "and should be educated" (from ground up).
- Jach 15y agoIgnored until they're educated.
- ugh 15y agoLook at it from a different perspective: The engineers failed to convince society and have only themselves to blame.
