It's difficult to say I am suggesting anything considering I already explicitly wrote it: the thing people should focus on is the actual outcome. And here we have a country that uses less fossil fuels for electricity production (do not see what cars have to do with anything), and is on a faster trajectory of reduction. Claiming that it could've been even faster implies either of the two things:

1) possession of a crystal ball to view an alternative reality 2) certainty that there is no dependence between spending money on nuclear and other things

I don't think that 2) is true. The disposal of existing nuclear waste will cost the tax payers over €100B [1] and sometimes it's better to make a hard cut so people can focus on the future and not the past. Either way, it's been successful.
