I'm from Germany and wanted to be a nuclear engineer. My mom to this days has a sticker on her car "Nuclear, no thank you". And she is an educated woman, a professional chemist.

It was what bought political victory at the time for the CDU, thats why it was done.

Curious what her argument against it is.

I'll never forget the video of some Arab dude saying "Democracy is the rule the of the people, but the people, they are retarded".

"Democracy basically means: Government by the people, of the people, for the people.... but the people are retarded." -- Osho

Thank you for the clarification.

Maybe you are lucky you did not become a nuclear engineer. I've heard from a woman whose late father was one that he and his colleagues all died from cancer. They did not get to enjoy their retirement much.
