Why single out nuclear? You could also say that banning fracking in Germany was a bad decision - could have provided a lot of gas now.

Why don't we say shutting down nuclear, banning fracking, and increasing reliance on Russian gas were all terrible decisions in hindsight.

Because banning use of CO2 intensive things is good and banning clean energy is bad.

Simple put with the right policy, the German 'Grünewende' could be mostly done by now and very little LNG would be required.
