Keeping Germany’s last six nuclear plant running and shutting down the coal-fired power plants Neurath, Niederaußem and Weisweiler minus a remaining capacity of 900 MW would save 70 million tons of CO2 per year which is about 10% of Germany’s total emissions annually.

But I guess symbolism is more important than actually doing something that effectively reduces emissions.
So let’s introduce a speed limit and shut down all nuclear power plants, yay.
