    The german energy mix is pretty good actually. About 60% is renewable. And a lot the infrastructure was build during our last legislation period. The early transition off nuclear was definitely a mistake but nothing we can reverse now. But even if we count nuclear as renewable, Germany is still way ahead of most big countries.

      Yea, I think Germany is doing well to make up for that transition but it’s still something that hurts me to the core - especially since it was so strongly pushed for by the Greens.

        All the left parties still push for it and are not willing to admit that it was a mistake. Our general secretary visited my local branch of my party to talk about the upcoming elections. Everything went extremely well until he made remarks about how going back to nuclear would be like devolving back into to a past era. I fear that fusion energy will be held back by the bad image of nuclear.
