Its not so different from the covid vaccines. We don't need a solution. We need every solution available.

I completely agree and would be in favor of keeping nuclear power running. But I think that shutting off nuclear early is a very minor mistake compared to the general energy policy.

You can achieve much more per Euro though with renewables than nuclear.

That is technically correct today. But that is because there are many problems with renewables that only really start to appear at scale.

In the United States - many utilities gave up literal free money from the Federal Government on renewable deployment because it was creating problems with the grid at like, 2% of use.

Nuclear is a drop in replacement for coal or natural gas.
