People are not stupid. They will never choose the financially unwise option

I see you've never been to the U.S.

Ok. Valid argument.

But while Germany quit nuclear power, the rest reinforced their standpoint.

Thousands of scientists from different countries all agreed upon nuclear power to be a reasonable source of energy. Even a Japan is still going forward with nuclear power. It is only Germany, which made an emotional choice, Merkel wanted to please the masses. And here we are now. Burning coal, as if we were thrown back into the industrial time, forced to use primitive methods to produce energy.
