Ig you haven't read up on some "long term storage" facilities already leaking and failing after mere decades due to cut corners?

Also nuclear is not something we (germany) could just get back on short term.
Nuclear isnt at all the silver bullet yall make it out to be
Also, the nuclear plants shut down recently were a tiny percentage of our energy mix. It is not like we were France with 80% nuclear and decided to shut it down within a year or two.
Everything matters! Especially when you really on net exporters like Sweden and France to cover for the slack or worse, replace it with brown coal!
We fucking manage our nuclear plants in Sweden and so does Finland! But no, of course, Germany can't!
Broski the article i linked mentioned US plants. But yeah asse 2 in Ger leaked for 20 years, kepts secret to secure cashflow of course.
But hey, corruption and greed don't exist in Sweden right? /s
