getting rid of nuclear power for russian gas was always a bad idea and this is why

It's more interesting to ask where the fuel could come from, given a few years of planning. The energy density is so much higher than gas, that geographical locality doesn't really matter.

If you're asking where stuff /could/ come from, why couldn't we just build renewables. For Germany at least, the ship has sailed anyways. It is not currently legislatively and practically possible to build out the required energy infrastructure with nuclear to phase out gas in a timeframe that makes sense. With the beaureaucracy and everything, it'll be at least a decade before even the first power plant would be connected to the grid.

Hey, Schroeder got paid so it also wasn't totally bad idea.
