Oh, they only a few days ago turned off a load more, reducing their nuclear capacity by half...just before winter. https://techxplore.com/news/2021-12-germany-nuclear-reactors-energy-crisis.html https://techxplore.com/news/2021-12-germany-nuclear-reactors... Which will increase the pressure upon Gas demand at a time that is probably one of the worst for a long time, let alone the usual winter pressure. Shame nuclear didn't get that green EU label years ago when, as France could of green lit it's updated nuclear plant program instead of stagnating in limbo at a time in which many of their existing plants are entering end of life and with current timescales, would at best see a few pushed past that or some serious shortfalls in energy production. As for Germany building new plants, with the public opinion, I would suspect that Germany's nuclear production is something they are happy to offshore to France and buy in that green energy cheaply without any of the political fallout/protests on it's doorstep.
