William C. Ramsay argues that German politicians have not been forthcoming with the public regarding the costs of abandoning nuclear power.

According to a more forthcoming source, called Wikipedia, average energy prices in Germany were over 20 euro cents (and I sure wish I had the opportunity to "subsidize" wind at that rate in Italy, where energy is even more expensive....)
