You are wrong, exactly this is the power of science, that it can correct itself. In fact, this is always exciting because you found something new, you can use this in future to recheck data and thus improve findings. In science you can challenge findings, learn and improve. Religion just stays as it is.

The power mix can be looked up online (german site) and historic data including the last 2 years (give the site some 20-30 seconds to render after entering dates, max 30 days). There are some obvious errors within the data (e.g.January or February 2014 has some broken days), so I can't really say, how reliable the data is).

The 22GW solar is now more or less normal during june, but as you can see, there is still a lot to do .

As a german, i am really astonished, how the nuclear engergy industry has turned most posters into "nuclear lemmings". Where is the "yes we can" nation ? Where is the nation with the engineers that can do the job ?

The US have better preconditions than germany in using sun und wind energy (see e.g. http://www.clca.columbia.edu/papers/sun&wind-1.pdf). You just have to move your butt and do something instead of just sitting dumb parroting "nuclear engery is fine". Build solar power, build windparks, build DC transmission lines, build power storages (e.g. compressing air, ...). The fuel for renewable engeries is there for free and unlimited ...

There are many reasons to abandon nuclear energy, the most important for me:

1) The waste: Hopefully, thousands of generations will follow us. Every single generation will have to deal (e.g. evade polluting ground water,move it from one hole to another, etc) with the waste we produced in just 3-6 generations ... . That's selfish and unethical.

2) The need for "heros": In case the of the "maximum credible accident" as in Fukushima, you have to send in real people to work in 4Sievert/h environments. In the soviet union, they just ordered them to do so, in Fukushima the typical japanese"mindsetting" ensures enough people are there to handle the job. But what do you do in a democracy in this case ? Call for "heros" ? It's unethical to rely on a technology that can enforce a situation where you have to accept to badly damage the worker's health.

3) The limited resources: The nuclear resources are very limited. They will be gone in 2-3 generations at its best. The wars for the last resources will start ealier, I think no one can tell exactly, when. Again hopefullye thousands of generations will follow us. It's unethical to use up the resources in just a few generations when there is no need to do it.

For germany, it is fine that we are the first. We move our butt. We can continue to grow in these markets and technology. All other nations must follow (it's just when, not if).
