There's just so much misinformation about nuclear out there it's kind of crazy.

Another claim I see regularly: Angela Merkel decided on the German nuclear exit as a response to Fukushima and she permanently shut down all reactors.

When in reality Merkel tried to draw out and prolong a nuclear exit that was already decided and ratified in the early 2000s and Germany still has fission reactors running to this day.
