"We do now."
(Holds up a "Save the Clock Tower" pamphlet)
Back to the time of candles and caves. Wunderbar!
Whatever the backup is , be it coal, gas ,oil or power from Russia (fossil fueled ) it can’t possibly reduce carbon emmissions since the nuclear plants don’t produce CO2. It is all a political ploy to satisfy the Green party because it hates nuclear power.
In the end the CO2 concentration in the air above them and us won’t chamge so it’s a waste of effart and money.
1. Nuclear power is Green
2. Good. Let them be the beta site for Green energy
3. Except nuclear power is Green
What would be a benign reason for them doing this?

Oh,,wait.. you said benign.

Nevermind.

Sometimes ones highest and best use is to serve as a warning to others.
Moreover:
4GW of nuclear is about equivalent of 24GW of installed “renewables”.
In practice, on average, the renewables deliver about 1/6 of their capacity.
Germany has already installed enough renewable power sources. Renewables installed theoretical capacity in Germany is about 1.5 times of German electricity needs. Yet, instead of flooding Germany with electricity, these deliver like 1/4 of German electricity needs on average. In bad days only about 5%.
There will be long, cold winters in Germany!
They will have to kiss Putins ass that much harder.
Idiots.
They are fearful of German nuke plants being hit by a tsunami.
“They are fearful of German nuke plants being hit by a tsunami”.
In addition to all being built on earthquake faults.
Or being blown up by one of their new immigrants.
Well, they have plenty of imported laborers who can be put to work cranking generators. That should solve the problem.
After all, that strategy worked well from 1939-1945.
After the Russians take over the Ukraine they can restart Chernobyl.
Nobody ever accused the krauts of being smart and rational. Now they’re doubling down on stupid. As far as I’m concerned, let the bastards freeze in the dark.
Their will be plenty of welfare resources to keep the new Germans warm and cozy. Get back to work, Fritz. Muhammed and his five wives and 15 kids are depending on you..
France gets 75% of their total electricity from nukes. They absolutely load follow those plants for peak loads. Germans do as well. Here is the details and scientific numbers behind it. Modern nukes can and do load follow with high levels of load maneuverability. Even GenII nukes can and do load follow.
https://www.oecd-nea.org/nea-news/2011/29-2/nea-news-29-2-load-following-e.pdf
“Most of the currently operating Generation II nuclear reactors were designed to have strong manoeu- vring capabilities. Nuclear power plants in France and Germany operate in load-following mode. ... In France, the impact of load-following on the average unit capac- ity factor is sometimes estimated at about 1.2%”
Does German right-of-center equate to American right-of-center?
The problem is the center in Germany is very very much to the left! So if you’re to the right of that center, you’re still pretty much left.
“Nuke plants cannot backup wind and solar because they cannot be switched on and off quickly enough. So, Germany uses coal as a backup for their Green disaster.”
They decided to close all the coal plants too! See link below) This is what happens when you get a critical mass of Marxist-Socialists together in one place at one time. America is not far behind.
Germany totally kills coal – will likely end up in the dark, without heat and light

It is deliberate and it is an attack on Germany and Europe by the communists.
