not sure why you are down voted it pretty much sumes the situation up Nuclear makes _financially_ no sense, only undoing the decision for a earlier shutdown done after fukushima makes sense. But building nuclear power plants takes at least decade a so it's not even an option to consider for short term handling of shortages in the next years and nuclear power was only ever cheap because of it being highly subvention. It also makes geo strategically no sense as it's a sigle point of failure and a rather catastrophic point of failure, too. Germany had a budding promising solar and wind industry which was basically killed of by politicians from CDU and SPD. Worse it's more then obvious that the politicians behind it have tight connections to the coal and gas industry to a point you could call it corrupt.
