OP said "Germany decided".

EU did the Green Deal, though, which is way worse than shutting down a few nuclear reactors that after all didn't produce that much energy anymore and were anyways planned to be shut down.

The green deal is needed to make sure we can still live in this world 50 years from now.

We're already feeling the effects of climate change pretty heavily and it's only just starting. If anything the deal was too little too late.
