Germany will keep 2 of the 3 nuclear reactors open after all ..

Is nuclear fission going to make a comeback and plug the gap in our energy needs? Will nuclear fusion ever become energetically viable?

The Greens in Germany closed 3 of their 6 reactors in January.

The final 3 were to be closed in December.

However at last, after weeks of rows, the Greens will keep 2 of the 3 open over the winter.

Not surprising under the circumstances, more nuclear closures would have been political suicide.
Hopefully the remaining nukes are in SAFE working order, and no chances have been taken with safety.
