Yes, obviously that's the case, however it goes beyond that. I still vividly remember how in high school they taught us persistently how bad nuclear power is for the environment. And TBH for a very long time, I actually believed it. A lot of people in Germany never stopped believing it. At this point we have to admit to ourselves that the "Green"'s are a political ideology with good slogans, but ultimately contrary to their own messaging it is: pro-war, anti-worker, anti-independence, and generally just a basket to capture anti-empire sentiment to redirect them towards supporting it.

Nuclear was stopped? Look at France.

The nuclear programme was effectively stopped in France and it is struggling to be revived.

As things stand now it won't be able to compensate for the closure of older reactors.

You're describing France from 2010 to 2020, not today.

Since 2020 it is struggling to revive its nuclear programme. Lots of fancy plans and announcements but let's see how reality unfolds.

New operational reactor in 2024 was the first in 25 years so hardly "since 2010"...
