Germany shutting down their perfectly safe nuclear reactors instead of their coal plants was so stupid. Germany emits 5 to 6 times more CO2 per J than France.

I agree. But at the end of the day it's not rationality that controls the fate of large groups of people, it's emotions. Nuclear power is a very emotional topic in Germany, and you can't argue with people who believe they'll die next week if that power plant keeps producing energy.

"Nuclear power is a very emotional topic in Germany"

That is very unfortunate because it is the only real long-term solution to prevent climate change and maintain our current standard of living.
