Compare to coal (that seems to be the tradeoff in Germany) nuclear energy kills 820x more people per produced energy unit. 820x the number of human lives lost.
C02 emissions are about 250x higher https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy#:~:text=....
It's irrational that Germany is shutting down secure and climate friendly power plants while Europe is in the midst of an energy crises and a war.
The reason for the irrationality is that Germans (I'm one) do not want to admit that they've been wrong about nuclear energy for decades.
