“Let me be blunt: that ship has sailed (train/left, horse/bolted, ...) and no complaints are going to change a thing.” You’ve presented precious little technical evidence to support such an absolute statement. Perhaps instead a nuclear engineer would be in a better position to make such an assessment, although I don’t know of one who would be unprofessional enough to make such a blunt statement without some supporting analysis. Assuming the infrastructure is still in place, it seems likely some reasonable effort could be made to restart a technology that was working perfectly well in Germany in, let’s see, January 2022. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/correction-germany-nuclear-shutdown-story-82051054 https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/correction-ge... “overprovisioning goes a far way already” Your blind faith in the scalability of renewables in a cloudy, not-very-windy country such as, say, Germany is touching, but unsupported by any analysis. Perhaps a power engineer should be consulted. Much sunnier, windier countries haven’t gone all in on renewables and instead have chosen a robust diverse energy technology portfolio. Perhaps they are wiser. Seems so in April 2022. “Power can be moved…” from countries who weren’t foolish enough to make technical and economic decisions based on ideology in the first place and thus have electricity to offer to, say, Germany. Not the first time ideology took precedence over common sense in Germany’s history. “stop mooning over a bygone love”…what an oddly romantic metaphor for nuclear power. “Your lovely face highlighted by the blue glow of Cherenkov Radiation…”. It was German politics that rejected nuclear power, not economics or national security or engineering or public safety. Nothing romantic about that, nor anything romantic about Germany changing its political mind on the matter as the situation warrants. I trust the abilities of German engineers more than the intelligence and integrity of German politicians. History strongly supports such an assessment.
