There is no concrete plan to exit coal in 2030. The current plan is for 2038, which may be moved up to 2035. This means that nuclear phase-out delayed coal exit by 13-16 years
Former Chancellor Merkel determined to to shut down he countries most important source of non fossil fuel energy because a tsunami in Japan destroyed a nuclear complex there. There are not, nor will there ever be, tsunamis in Germany.
Well, Boo Hoo. Nuclear pollutes all the time it generates. Emissions into land, sea and air. Up the exhaust stack, down the pipes to rivers, lakes, seas and oceans the world over. Good riddance to nuclear power generation. Atoms for war. Renewables for peace.
Greenie fanatics opposed nuclear power technologies long before the CO2 hysteria went into hyperdrive. Climate Change is just a pretext for a nasty, neo-Malthusian agenda of massive depopulation and deindustrialization. That agenda may prevail in the West, but the Chinese are building 440 new coal units over the next four years and then ramping up the construction of at least 150 nuclear reactors. While the West reverts to A New Dark Ages feudalism, the Asians, led by China will dominate the global economy and advanced high tech for the rest of the century and beyond.
