      I didn’t know a lot of what was written in the article but as a German I can say that it reads reasonable and makes sense for me. It overlaps with what I learned at school and in general.

      The article misses the important factor of war.

      Germany has coal in their ground, quite a lot. In case of a war, Germany doesn’t need to get coal from anywhere but from themselves.

      Nuclear material is much more complicated to get.

      Which makes maintaining coal infrastructure more reasonable from a military perspective.

      Also nuclear reactors are great military targets…
