The German example Germany, the economic and industrial powerhouse in Europe in 2023, decided, for ideological and emotional reasons, to wean itself off nuclear power , even though the low-carbon baseload energy source was key to stability and economic output. This, as there, of course, as with all fossil fuels, is a finite amount.
