I don't often toot about #nuclear energy, but it's something I casually follow. I find the juxtaposition between France embracing nuclear and Germany rejecting it such an interesting case study.
Their differences may change soon—Merz recently called #Germany's move to shutdown all reactors, a "huge strategic mistake". In 2025, 70% of Germany's energy was imported, causing a reliance on government subsidies to keep costs down.
In the 2030s, nuclear may see a resurgence in Germany.
