The last 3 nuclear power plants in Germany will be closed on Saturday.
Germany, after more than 60 years, completely abandons its own nuclear power industry: the authorities disconnect the last three operating nuclear power plants from the network. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1647147469308936195

Thats too bad news. Dead wrong decision.
@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust ah, federation lagged and it didn't show the video!
@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust
My people are watching this disaster unrolling with huge disbelief.
@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
idk, people here were somehow traumatized by chernobyl. i get if one doesn't want old reactors which might explode and make large swaths of germany uninhabitable.
i _don't_ get that people are so much against nuclear energy that they won't even want research into safe designs.
germany really is the european powerhouse of stupidity now.

I see the root causes in a following way:
Observable:
The reason has been taken over by emotions.
What they did:
I think they saw only a binary choice here:
-Full 'woke' monty
vs
-Fully cynical "Hard logic".
How it works elsewhere:
You can mix and match reason and emotions, you dont have to apply only one to all the issues.
@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
indeed!
i think one thing also is that the prototypical german believes he's absolutely in the right. his ideas are the correct solution for every situation. the left is the worst in this regard, considering everyone who doesn't subscribe to their tribe not only as stupid but evil.
frightening how we germans went from having people like goethe etc. to those people we now let loose onto the world.
it's really tiresome for me.
NB: i also tend to fall into the german know-it-all trap, but it try my best to change it ;)
@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust
Polish leadership now, might have similar problem.
By studying about your people case, I also learn about mine and our, on the polish side of my roots and soul.
@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
polish and german history is so intertwined, i think it's hard to really seperate them. if you look at the history, those "giant" countries we now have are a bit unnatural anyway, they were (at least germany, idk that well about poland) much smaller and more fractioned for the longest time. i probably in some aspects have a bigger cultural connection to regions of poland than to bavaria.
@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust
Polish history was similar in a sense, although saying so is near-criminal over there now.
Less than average-stupid over there are well aware of it, and keep fingers crossed for those times return again.
I can assure You, although in past it could get You in trouble, an unorthodoxy of Yours and alikes over there, would easily make You and them look sympathetic to ones with a Slavic soul.
