... or at least we "want" to do that, but it turns out that some operators of nuclear power plants have delayed some much-needed maintenance in light of the upcoming shutdown, so at least Isar 2 doesn't seem to be ready to operate longer.
And all the Bavarian politicians have "accidentally" failed to disclose this until far too late (in Bavaria, CSU is the dominant political party, and they aren't in power at the federal level right now, so don't feel compelled to play nice).
