I don't think this chioce is due to budget saving purposes. Maybe nuclear energy is cheaper, but it isn't safe in the long run. Slags will last for thousands of years and they are dangerous. Japan disaster has changed the view of nuclear energy in Europe because Japan is an high-tech country with good management capabilities and, in spite of this, disaster occurred.
Italy also is a no nuclear energy country. I agree with this because slag handling would be very dangerous due to corruption and it can become an easy way to make money for mafias.
I wouldn't trust of nuclear energy in my country and 90% of italians does. (We had 2 referendums about nuclear energy)
I would prefer to consume less and have no nuclear energy...


Is Germany on an active fault line?

Germany will continue to buy electric power produced in the nuclear reactors of their neighbors. This decision by the German government is nothing but a Green Gesture. Purchasing electricity produced by nuclear reactors is a form of enabling.

Enabling of what?


Nuclear Reactors. Buying from France's nuclear reactors goes against the "green gesture" of doing away with them. Or German will simply burn hydrocarbons produced in Russia. Some improvement that is.

Hmn, I guess the obvious political benefits are there. I shall wait and see before I make a judgement.
