Subject: Germany Shut Down Its Last Nuclear Power Plants In 2023

Germany shut down its last nuclear power plants in 2023 - a decision which
removed 4 gigawatts of reliable, low-cost baseload electricity.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has now admitted that shutdown was a strategic
mistake, calling Germany's 'energy transition' the most expensive in the
world.
The country turned to intermittent wind and solar, backed by gas, imports, and
emergency coal restarts - and the obvious consequences followed:
Electricity prices surged.
Grid reliability weakened.
Fossil fuel use actually increased.
Germany shut down its last nuclear power plants in 2023. That decision removed
4 gigawatts of reliable, low-cost baseload electricity. The plants were
operational. They were paid for, and worse still, there was NO REPLACEMENT
CAPACITY READY. Germany turned to intermittent wind and solar BACKED BY GAS

The obvious consequences followed, electricity prices surged, grid reliability
weakened, and fossil fuel use actually increased. Chancellor Friedrich Mertz
has now just admitted the shutdown was a strategic mistake, calling Germany's
energy transition the most expensive in the world. A reckless bending to
extreme green ideology traded reliability and prosperity for optics. Working
nuclear plants were destroyed, and for what?
