    We stopped our atom plants and have a plan out of coal.

    Yeah you folks did this in the wrong order.

      Not when you consider the maintenance costs of the plants they closed. Basically of them were beyond original design life.

        I guess, but the Energiewende must’ve been really expensive already and by my best guesstimation those upkeep costs would have been small in comparison. What irks me more about the situation is wrapping shutting down the nuclear plants in a guise of green policy while simultaneously supporting a huge coal industry. Very happy for all the renewables, still.
