For a country that people shat on a lot for closing their nuclear plants Germany is on the right track reducing their C02.

Now think about how much lower it could have been with nuclear power.

[–] silver13 18 points 10 months ago

Not much, since it covered only about 4% of the demand to begin with. Plus billions in compensations for nuclear companies if the plans had been changed again. Plus Billions to transport the waste through the country again and again because there is no storage safe enough on the long term. All of that money is by far better invested in renewables.
