The shutdown of Germany's nukes is a result of corruption at the most senior level, and represents one of the greatest betrayals of the German people, of Europe, and of indeed the planet given the additional emissions.
If the EU is really serious about Russian and energy independence, they should be begin a mass program of nuclear power building across the bloc.
But its more likely that all of the senior European bureaucrats and politicians are corrupted at some level.

So I guess a betrayal of the Germans, by the Germans. https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/deutschlandtrend/deutschlandtrend1556.html https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/deutschlandtrend/deutschlan...

- ArkanExplorer 5y agoIf you explained to those same people that the replacement is going to involve a lot of coal and Russian gas, and that the decision was based on a corrupted chancellor, would they still support the decision? If the chancellor was corrupted, then what about senior media controllers and leaders of the Greens movement?
- stkdump 5y agoGermans know very well, that Schröder was corrupt. They still support the Energiewende. But Trump bullying Germany to stop buying Russian gas, so the US can sell its more expensive fracking gas to Europe isn't a perfect signal of sincerity either.
