Closing all their nuclear plants was sheer idiocy--though applauded by clever people who take private jets and genteelly avert their gaze at the depredations of their friends in Russia and China

The reason they decided to shut down their nuke plants is extremely stupid. The original decision was made back in 2011 right after the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami and the ensuing nuclear disaster.
Turns out that Germany uses the exact same reactors that were at the Fukushima nuclear plant that failed because of the sheer force of the earthquake.
So despite there hasn't been an earthquake in Germany since...ever...German Hillary (Merkel) made the decision to shut down their IIRC 16 nuclear reactors.
The beautiful German countryside when I got to Germany in 2016 was littered in some places as far as the eye can see with Windmills and solar panel farms when I left in 2016.
