Saying "that's the reality" doesn't make it a reality. You can repeat it as often as you want, it makes you look like a self absorbed jerk - because it's simply not true. Just because it's a nice narrative to push for you not every opponent to nuclear energy is a proponent to coal. Quite the contrary I'd figure.

The single last coal plant started operation in 2020, and none has been "re-opened". Some are kept in prolonged reserve mode until 2024 (half a year longer than originally planned), IF the Alarmstufe Gas stays in effect.

Maybe try with some verifiable facts and stop lying.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/08/germany-reactivate-coal-power-plants-russia-curbs-gas-flow I guess "reactivating coal power plants" means something different in the original German, an must be semantically different then "re-opened." Also note that natural gas is still a fossil fuel that has the dubious distinction of being "better" then coal, but infinitely worse then Nuclear.

Now if you are against nuclear energy, it means you have to have a replacement in mind and all replacements for Nuclear Power Plants are fossil fuel based. There isn't another option. Wind/Solar are great, there is no one accusing you of being against renewables. But renewables are NOT replacements for Nuclear or Fossil Fuel based power. So there is your choice. Pro-Nuclear or Pro-Fossil fuel.

No already shut down plant has been restarted into operation. Only the grace period until the final shut down has been extended for half a year - only for plants which were scheduled to shut down this year (but haven't been shut down yet), and only under the condition of the gas emergency status.

So I upgraded from "pro coal" to "pro fossil fuel" now? Yay. Maybe if we continue this discussion we can also get rid of that narrative.
