Yes, an entire country gripped by Radiophobia.

And making huge decisions based on nothing but that phobia. Tragic.
> I'm of the opinion that the correct time to deploy nuclear power was any time before the early 2010s,
The best time to build new nuclear was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Renewables are not sufficient and building out nuclear is much, much quicker and cheaper than the failed German Energiewende, even now.
