The foolish move by the German government to close down all the nuclear reactors. The German government is weird.

Or history is more complex than a sound bite.

Getting Germany off nuclear has been in the making since the 1980s, and a big factor was fighting corruption.

We still have a glowing mess from those days, waiting another 80 years until it can be cleaned up.

It would have been nice to turn off coal first, but it doesn’t change what we need to do for renewables.
