And finally, don't forget Fukushima. The current politics here in Germany are a direct reaction to Fukushima.

Chernobyl, Asse, Aachen, Gorleben all didn't change anything in our politics. But Fukushima did. Immediately.

The end of nuclear was decided long before Fukushima - in 2000.

The Merkel government was on its way to change that, against protests (2010). Shortly after that Fukushima happened (2011), and Merkel had to return to the Atomausstieg (also 2011).
