The bigger question here and this I think is what subcontiously resonates with this this story is why do you even punish and I think there are three partly compeeding answers.
-
First because you want to avoid such thing from happening again
-
Secondly because you try to scare people from doing the same
-
Thirdly because you want fellons to reflect on there behavior and give them a path to redemption
For the second goal I point at the fact that it happened although this sentence is possible.
Vastly onesided, especially the shutdown of the nuclear plants. They only accounted for 11% of electrical energy production during peak activity. I don’t see how you could have convinced people to build 10x more nuclear plants to achieve net zero, given the huge prior resistance i.e. “Atomkraft, nein Danke”. I agree to the blunder in so far that she failed to accelarate the transirion to renewables at the begin of the millenia. Which was probably no realistic option due to internal party resistance.
