France does not trust its eyes over what we do in Germany, but of course they say thanks and will make best use of the German folding over this field of hightech competence. And I doubt they will shut down their own many reactors soon, they totally depend on nuclear energy. And so Germany will acchieve the exacpt opposite of what the pleb in the streets is yelling for: we may be a clean tiny spot in the heart of europe: with masny dozens of nuclear powerplants surrounding us from almost all sides, some of them sitting right on our shared borders. And France has card blanche to push through its own nuclear technology on the market, with the biggest rival gone.

Maybe they do not trust their eyes, but they are celebrating today, believe me.

Holwever, protesters are rioght on one thing: we do not have a clue how to store radiating waste safely for many thousands of years. This is the biggest problem with nuclear energy I see.
