Not sure why this discussion persists? Nuclear energy exit did not lead to more coal consumption - that was due to sudden switching off of Russian gas in response to their illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. In the end, there is exactly ONE reason why Germany really went through with leaving nuclear and it is not the anti-nuclear crowd. It is simply cost and money in the face of much cheaper, less risky and heavily abundant renewable energy. You cannot make an argument for building new plants which will take 10-20 years of realization and billions of Euros when nobody is going to insure it and when we can add massive amounts of MWh of cheap, reliable and safe energy in the mean time. It is economically irresponsible and makes no sense at all. The mistake of leaving nuclear before coal was made long ago, and yes it was a mistake based on anti-nuclear ideology. But it is equally irrational to try and fix that now in face of clearly better alternatives. You have to actively deny cost analysis data and developments in energy tech over the last decade to keep arguing for nuclear power.
