Germany going from 30% nuclear power in 2000 to 0% just over 20 years later is insane regression, and a reminder that objective progress can often be yanked back for the most irrational and stupid reasons.
"A member of the German ministry seems to have rewritten relevant passages... to imply that it would not be possible to delay the phase-out due to safety concerns."
Wild - the phaseout was in 2021, just as energy prices were skyrocketing. A delay would've helped the economy.
