You might want to interview former NATO general Wesley Clark. He's involved in looking for natural gas in Germany and Austria - domestic resources those countries literally refused to look for until now.

The rationale for the nuclear shutdown is obvious. Germany is on a geopolitical faultline; anyone who were to hit one of their reactors would destroy the country in a nanosecond, meaning their enemies could take them hostage. Yes, Russia could turn off the gas...but they can't turn the Germany into a radioactive dump by bombing one strategic target.

Of course the Greens have something to do with it, but there is strategy in play, too.
