@brettm also another important part is that germany just hasn't transitioned to 100% clean energy. so it doesn't really matter if it could, they still cut a large source of non-fossil fuel energy with no backup plan. i have trouble believing this was all 'for the good' and a net positive when we still burn coal and lignite in germany.

yes that's part of what i'm saying. to have been fully rational the Green Party would have said "ok lets run 'em a few more years" but probably they thought if we give an inch they'll take a mile and 50 years from now there will still be nuclear

@brettm i guess i have a perspective issue because the nuclear disaster near where i lived was as bad as the reactor issue in chernobyl but the safety features made it negligible. i would see nuclear reactors every morning on my drive to work. i just don't get the fear that the green party was founded on emotionally.
