According to German sources the government denies this report and points to the currently running evaluations. (e.g. <a href="https://www.rtl.de/cms/atomkraftwerke-in-deutschland-verwirrung-um-moegliche-laufzeit-verlaengerung-nach-bericht-5002170.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.rtl.de/cms/atomkraftwerke-in-deutschland-verwirr...</a>)
The most sensible, efficient, and effective climate change policy would be to:<p>1. tax the carbon content of fuels<p>2. use nuclear power for baseload power generation
looking how bad things are in France, I'm surprised that nobody who thinks Nuclear Power is a solution to global warming discusses the high needs for cooling ... nuclear power plants need large amounts of water.<p><a href="https://m.dw.com/en/french-nuclear-plants-break-a-sweat-over-heat-wave/a-62806646" rel="nofollow">https://m.dw.com/en/french-nuclear-plants-break-a-sweat-over...</a>
Shutting down power plants during winter was never a good idea and a kind of arbitrary decision. Given the situation with russian gas Germany probably will keep the nuclear power plants running until next summer and then shut them down forever.
This is the smart/obvious thing for them to do, bravo. This is also a very negative thing for Putin and Russia. Glad to see more negative results to the Russians from their invasion.
