Merkel-era “black zero” fiscal policy and budget surplus, insufficient investment into the future (infrastructure, digitalisation, green transition, education) are the reason why Germany is today so far behind other countries. And the AfD is cashing in the political win now.

There was no nuclear madness. It is the energy of the future.
Most renewable energies are decentralized.
That might be one of the reasons why the (soon 2b former) monopolists rage so much against it
And yes, something as big and complex as a nuclear reactor needs the best builders and engineers, which means you can't have one on your roof.
Solar panels and a battery would do the job without all that super toxic radioactive waste.

Hos does the cost per MWh compare with other forms over the life time ?

What's the cost of the alternative?
... unsubsidized cost of producing large-scale solar power as high as $96 per megawatt hour ... average has gone to $60
Nuclear: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_nuclear_power_plants
... nuclear power plants going online in 2023 to be $0.0775/kWh before government subsidies,
Conservatives are to blame for having destroyed the solar power industry and for now ruining wind as well.But that's what conservatives do: destroy.
I don't understand about the solar industry. What happened there? It's such an obvious choice.
It would've been beneficial, if this industry would still be here. But conservatives destroyed it.
FDP’s Linder, now finance minister: “we need tax cuts” 🙃
And the voters will vote that it stays like this. Right now, only one party is pro people. The rest is destructive and/or tied to Russia.
