Yet, the CEO of the company who owns Isar 2 still hasn't revised his opinion.

Where is the one-sided information here? Technically the PreussenElektra CEO is Guido Knott, they operate and have a substantive ownership of the German nuclear plants. Preusenelektra is a subsidiary of E.ON, where Leonhard Birnbaum is the CEO you mention. His opinion follows the government decision. In a letter to the people working for Preussenelektra he wrote: "The German government has examined the contribution that the remaining nuclear power plants can make to solving the current energy crisis and, after weighing the options, has come to the decision that nuclear energy should not be part of the solution [..] This decision must be respected [..] I can imagine that one or the other of you had hoped that for a while, as a transitional solution, nuclear energy would still have some way to go." As quoted in "Rheinische Post" (Wednesday edition, 22 june 2022) Now Bernd Guhlich, communication of PreussenElektra acknowledges this in the interview. Without the OK of the government and by proxy CEO E.ON Leonhard Birnbaum nothing will happen. The E.ON CEO is not the decision or policy maker here, that's the government (which is by definition open to public debate). But, and that was the point Bern Guhlich was making (which is not one sided as he acknowledges the decision): Isar can technically run for longer then the end of this year if the government decides to do that. The Bundesministerium fuer Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (a department of the government) decided against that for reasons Bern Guhlich argues are false: * there is no legal basis * the 3 nuclear plants cannot operate longer without fuel rods Additionally the tweet from Mark Nelson asserts: "Chancellor Scholz and Economy Minister Habeck have been falsely claiming that nuclear plants cannot operate because of staffing and lack of fuel." Perhaps you mean that there are other reasons the CEO mentioned in the article you refer to: extension would be of limited energy benefit.
