Loki-L on April 11, 2026 3:25 pm The Fraunhofer Institue has a bunch of much better charts that you can dig deep and get much better insight than from the stuff from ourworldindata. for example: [https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE](https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE) and: [https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/energy_pie/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&interval=year&year=2025](https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/energy_pie/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&interval=year&year=2025)

The anti-nuclear movement has doomed our planet
