It's a couple of days late, but it wasn't until Sep 5th that they announced 2 of the 3 planned for closure on Dec 31st would be run for an extra 3 months. Still closing Emsland though, at least according to wikipedia

Just so much is fucked up about that whole situation.

1. Did nobody think about that nuclear plants can't be switched on and off like nothing?

2. They want them in standby because they fear that north-south energy transport could be overloaded. Well, let's have some blackouts in Bavaria then, maybe they'll start cooperating with the rest of the country then.

3. Nuclear plants can't really substitute what might be missing in gas, if I remember correctly.

4. With all the half-assed things that are happening in Germany, let's just do ONE thing consequently and stop using nuclear power. It will be fine if it isn't already.

It's a fact.

What exactly? That three nuclear power plants are being shut down by the end of the year? Yes, that's a fact.
