Oh, you

don’t say! At some point you have to stop prancing and preening, because you have to deal with reality. I suspect that Germany has about reached that point. I guess we will see.šŸ¤”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hasĀ calledĀ the nuclear phaseout a ā€œserious strategic mistakeā€ that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.

… The pattern is plain to see. Countries abandon dependable power sources under political pressure, then spend years rebuilding what they had demonized and dismantled.
