#2> ...Russians could sabotage nuclear reactors. They use such a remote possibility as an argument against all nuclear, seemingly forgetting that:
Germany is surrounded by other countries with nuclear power.
Russian sabotage would be an act of war.
If Germany is at the point where Russia is attacking its nuclear power plants, I sure hope it’s not in a position where it depends on Russian gas.

#3Being anti-nuclear is deeply engrained in the DNA of Germany's green party. Even more so than climate change. In fact, when the anti-nuclear movement started, climate change wasn't even a topic.
In other words, the only thing that needs to happen is the German green party to admit a mistake in fighting nuclear power harder than fossile fuels...

Russia recently attacked a nuclear power plant not that far from Germany, which happened to survive without serious issue. So, this isn’t meaningless speculation even if you personally don’t view it as a major issue.
In the end designing a nuclear power plant to survive shelling might not mitigate that much risk, but it is something being seriously considered in many circles.

This is pattern-matching taking the place of reasoning.
Even if you don't, I promise you Putin understands the difference between attacking a plant in Ukraine and attacking one in Germany.

It's a moot point. Attacking a german nuclear plant = nukes get shot back. And all out nuclear war.

This is apt description of nearly every nation, if not all of them.

Yeah. They didn't even sabotage reactors in a country they are currently in war with.

Assuming war will never happen is at best wishful thinking.
At the point where people are attacking something in Germany that line becomes meaningless.
