- nautilius 5y agoI’m trying to understand what you’re trying to say, but I can’t. Nuclear is shut down because of some platonic ideal of what ‘Fukushima’ may mean, and not by their perceived threat? And German car manufacturers building ICE has what relation to that? And then you swivel to electric cars? Edit: Removed snark.
- Ygg2 5y agoHow is it hard to comprehend? German government decided to shut down nuclear power plant in response to protests after Fukushima disaster.
- nautilius 5y agoI'm confused about the completely unrelated and nonsensical second part of your post. Also, your statement that it is in response to Fukushima, but somehow not about the perceived danger of nuclear power, makes no sense.

- nautilius 5y agoThank god. Finally someone proved that nuclear is safe and no accidents can happen.
