jeffwWhy Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
HypxThe author is wrong. It is only a matter of time before Germany goes back to nuclear. Physics won't change regardless of short-term opinion.
CosmoNovaYou sure gobbled up that Putin propaganda pre-war. But now it’s 2023 and Germany still stands. How much time will have to pass until you people realize the extend of Germany‘s energy dependency was vastly overestimated? France with their nuclear grid is now importing more energy from Germany than the other way around. And if you think that‘s only temporarily you should take a closer look.
Not only is Germany not exporting more power than france, but they have dropped down to fourth in the EU behand Spain and Sweden as well.

TarteSpain is already phasing out nuclear energy currently and Sweden wants to do it after sufficient renewables are built. Among many other states.
Nuclear is just not profitable compared to renewables. France is exporting at a loss if one would consider all associated costs (privatization of profits and socialization of losses is creating bad incentives).
If you add a bunch of non-tangible costs on to one side of a comparison and not the other it makes that side look worse yes.
