#2"Robert Habeck said"
"It is part of my ministry's tasks to answer this question. I would not reject it on ideological grounds - but the preliminary examination has shown that it does not help us."
"Because the preparations for the shutdowns are already so far advanced that the nuclear power plants could only continue to operate under the highest safety concerns and possibly with fuel supplies that have not yet been secured," Habeck said."
Unexpectedly, I feel like I have to call fake news on Reuters for this.
The headline looks nothing like what the quotes in the body imply.

You mixed up the first quote I think:
"It is part of my ministry's tasks to answer this question. I would not reject it on ideological grounds - but the preliminary examination has shown that it does not help us."
But your point is absolutely true: Germany doesn't mull it at all.

Ah yes. I copied the same quote twice apologies.

#8I don't get it. A nuclear accident halfway across the world and Germany decides to shut down. A war halfway across the continent and it decides to keep on?
Both threats (nuclear accident and Putin's madness) have always existed.
What changed? Did they suddenly discover Putin is not trustworthy to depend on for half of your energy supply?
