    The article misses the important factor of war.

    Germany has coal in their ground, quite a lot. In case of a war, Germany doesn’t need to get coal from anywhere but from themselves.

    Nuclear material is much more complicated to get.

    Which makes maintaining coal infrastructure more reasonable from a military perspective.

    Also nuclear reactors are great military targets…

      Coal is being phased out as well

          It would be stupid not, they’re probably a lot easier to reactivate then nuclear power plants
