Expensive electricity and bankruptcies: Does Germany need to go back to nuclear power?

1. I'd long suspected that the renewables movement was an outgrowth

of the nuclear disarmament movement. The idealistic dears assumed that each and every fuel rod could be converted into weapons-grade plutonium by some evil axis or by terrorists in someone’s garage using mail-order machine tools.

I admit that I was a liberal arts major with poor math skills. But even twenty-odd years ago, I was concerned about coal strip mining, mountaintop removal, and acid rain. I also suspected that renewables were being pushed by hucksters the same ways snake-oil salesmen sold quack cures out of their medicine wagons.
