"Germany faces *$1 TRILLION* challenge to plug massive power gap"

Destroying the perfectly good nuclear power station in Biblis, German
 Bloomberg reports

Tell me again how expensive nuclear power is! This $US1 Trillion is needed because Germany closed its nuclear power stations (unnecessarily) and cancelled fracking for gas (unnecessarily). 

$US 1 Trillion is about 100 new 1GW nuclear power stations. Which would be several times the annual needs of Germany. So I don’t know where this huge figure comes from. But, whatever, it’s needed because Germany closed down perfectly functioning nuclear power stations. Because Angela Merkel was stupid. Because the German Greens are stupid. Because they all, stupidly, were freaked by the Fukushima nuclear accident. Which killed precisely zero people in the accident. Stupidy, stupidy, stupidy....

AND: German Greens heat pump debacle. Oh, god... spare us...
