I found this story to be informative, about why Germany closed their nuclear power plants. I think that context can defuse a lot of arguments about Germany’s decision.
I didn’t know a lot of what was written in the article but as a German I can say that it reads reasonable and makes sense for me. It overlaps with what I learned at school and in general.

The article misses the important factor of war.
Germany has coal in their ground, quite a lot. In case of a war, Germany doesn’t need to get coal from anywhere but from themselves.
Nuclear material is much more complicated to get.
Which makes maintaining coal infrastructure more reasonable from a military perspective.
Also nuclear reactors are great military targets…
Coal is being phased out as well
They will phase it out but they will keep them ready enough to use.
