Yet nowadays it appears Germany essentially outsources nuclear power generation to its neighbors who would still contaminate Germany in case of a nuclear incident at their land.
Could you expend on this? What are you basing this on? Germany has an international reputation of being competent and serious about safety, but that often feels more like a myth than reality IMHO. Pretty happy to live in the country, but it’s clear at this point the country failed to live to its reputation for the past 2 decades. Germany failed to maintain and develop almost all its large infrastructure projects.
Small anecdote: I live in Hamburg, one of the richest and most developed city (love the place btw, really underrated), I finally got fiber for my internet connection just a few months ago. And we are parts of the very lucky few! I had fiber in my home country of Switzerland in 2010.
If German voters had anything to say about other countries' power generation our neighbours would also be shutting down their reactors, or at the very least replacing their worst reactors.
But as it happens German voters have very little say in how other countries run their energy grid. And the people in charge of actually running the German energy grid don't care as much, they are just happily buying and selling energy to keep the grid stable. And in the last 20 years there has only been one year where Germany has imported more electricity than it exported, so it's not like we outsource our grid
Under what assumptions? Not accusing of believing stereotypes, but most german megaprojects and public works have not been faring well. I don't believe there is one scenario in which Germany would be more trustworthy in regards to nuclear power than its neighor, France.
