The main justification for Germany’s nuclear shutdown is the risks associated with using nuclear energy. But these risks are exaggerated beyond measure.
Which is true, but renewelables have easily been able to cover the loos of the last remnants of nuclear energy Germany has in 2022. Towards the end (when the arrive in question was written) nuclear made up 6.5 % of the German energy mix. It’s ridiculous to think that the drop out could have caused any shortages. Renewables are growing faster atm than ever before and are able to cover the growth in energy demand almost completely.
Lol, an article from 2022? That brings up risks like an energy shortage, which just didn’t happen? Realy?
It did, but there is also a huge recession and deindustrialization which greatly reduced the use of energy.

I guess we’ll see how this develops going forward.
