I’m glad the author has written this article about nuclear power in Germany. I was afraid no one was going to say anything about this incredibly stupid decision. The Japanese, who have more reason to be concerned, did not make a similar blunder. Nor the Chinese. Nor the French. The Germans have been so good a policy in this hideous Great Recession. Now they’re going to blow it all?
I agree with you that it wasn’t a great decision. But I strongly disagree with the author that it was a decision made purely of crass political pandering on the part of Merkel and for her re-election bid.
Plus, as Brilliant, pointed out this decision is not irreversible.
