These are other times now, but it doesn't mean that nuclear power is suddenly okay. And the people who were against it the first time now come back out and say so.
Especially as there were some smaller hazardous incidents in Biblis lately, and the deep geological repository at Asse is leaky.
And people developed the technology to replace nuclear power with decentralised regenerative energy in the meanwhile. Germany exports the stuff all over the world, after all: - windmills and solar panels have become a core competency of our economy. Ending state subsidies to these industries early while extending the licenses of nuclear power stations will shift the money from small to medium sized businesses investing in the future to four large power oligopolists completely rooted in the past.
Which would be bad in more ways than I can enumerate within the limits of an LJ comment.-
