Germany's mistake was to shut down their nuclear power facilities before


having alternatives in place. They had a zero emissions power source but in 2002, Schroeder, Merkel's predecessor started closure of their nuclear plants. Merkel delayed this when coming to leadership but then reversed the extension in 2011 after Fukushima. But the kept coal plants open and expanded use of natural gas, throwing them into the arms of the Russians. Talk about not understanding environmental and political relative risk!!
Never understood the idea of shutting down existing nukes.
