The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So, again, one of those unexpected things.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Yeah, what's so crazy about Germany, too, you just brought this up, but, you know, Germany, to your point, shut down or decided to phase out of nuclear whenever Fukushima happened.

And this was Angela Merkel, who, by the way, is a physicist, so she should know better.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But there was, Germany was super anti-nuclear and

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

She is a politician.

1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And Germany is a super anti-nuclear country.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

You know, she had to make the tough choice of doing whatever her population wanted.

But later, Germany ended up shutting down their nuclear plants.

But Germany's former chancellor is on the board of three Russian gas companies.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Hmm.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Germany was dependent on Russian gas, as you mentioned in the beginning.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

I mean, so much so that they were effectively funding the war in Ukraine, at least in the beginning.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Well, to be fair, he was probably not on the board when he was chancellor, but you know.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

He was making a million dollars a year basically from being on this board.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Not for nothing.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Exactly.

1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So it's just political influence, access and all of those, you know, good things.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So it's it just gets worse and worse the more you learn about it.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And Germany is just hell bent on being consistently in the wrong side of history for some weird reason.
