   But luckily Germany saved the world by shutting down their power plants for good

      Tinfoil hat, I know, but I'm convinced that Germany hating nuclear power was a Russian influence operation.

         It was already decided in 1998 to phase out nuclear power under the SPD–Green coalition. They passed the Nuclear Exit Law in 2002.

         It’s mostly the Green Party’s fault, as they have been vehemently anti-nuclear since their inception(1970s).

            Gerhard Schröder, chancellor 1998-2005, is well known to be best buddies with Putin and later (three weeks after leaving office!) worked for Gazprom. He is nicknamed "Gas-Gerd".

            Schröder also famously called Putin a "true democrat".
