What Habeck Said Today About Nuke Energy Plants

 FYI, the last three nuke plants in Germany were set (years in the making) to shutdown by 1 January.  

Lot of chatter about a lack of plan-B situations for the grid.  So today, the Economics Minister (Habeck, Greens) said that only one plant would close for sure....the other two would be put on stand-by.  No one said a year, or two years, or three years, for stand-by status.

The one plant to shut down? In Emsland....far NW of Germany.

Settling things?  Well...the Bavarians wanted their plant to stay open (providing 25-percent roughly of Bavarian grid requirements).  So I think they are satisfied.

A cost factor?  Yeah, that's the one odd thing that the journalists failed to mention.
