Oh come on. Germans have developed a completely irrational fear of nuclear energy, and everything is just a result of this.

Driving cost of nuclear power plants up as much as possible was a political decision. Not finding a permanent storage was a political decision.

Not having any personell was a poltical decision. What do you expect if you shut down modern and perfectly working power plants, and stop research in nuclear power?

Alternative energy is more expensive, as you can see on your energy bill. I am paying 45€ per khW. How come electricity is so much cheaper in France?
