Germany's Merz Admits Nuclear Exit Was Strategic Mistake

I'm from Germany and wanted to be a nuclear engineer. My mom to this days has a sticker on her car "Nuclear, no thank you". And she is an educated woman, a professional chemist.

It was what bought political victory at the time for the CDU, thats why it was done.

Maybe you are lucky you did not become a nuclear engineer. I've heard from a woman whose late father was one that he and his colleagues all died from cancer. They did not get to enjoy their retirement much.

Curious what her argument against it is.
