Now tell me how more nuclear power would have helped with a gas shortage (since Germany is filling up gas reservoirs atm I'm not even sure how bad the shortage really is)?
And don't say France, because we will have cooler rivers and more rain again come fall / winter.
"since Germany is filling up gas reservoirs atm I'm not even sure how bad the shortage really is"
What are you talking about? It's summer, gas is used for heating, of course it's not a critical issue per se now. Germany is saving gas for the winter, when it heavily uses gas and when Russia will almost certainly cut off the remaining supplies.
And for what it's worth, Germany is already beginning rationing actions for energy starting tomorrow, so even now there is actually already some urgency, which will grow as it gets closer to winter.
You need both ~full storage and continuing supplies to get through a winter.
The timing of the 2nd invasion of Ukraine 2 months after Germany shut down 3 of its plants is suggestive.
