This reiterates that a country can accomplish anything when everyone is working towards the same goal. I wish we could get this kind of focus in the US.

Meanwhile Obama just slapped China with a 30% import tariff on solar panels.

They made a good example that nuclear power can be replaced by greener or much safer options. And they will not think that only nuclear power can help us have the energy source than we need. I am pro solar too.

The free market will always win. Unless you want to be completely isolationist, (really bad idea), capitalism finds a way. Again, adopt the Apple, Dell, etc. model, innovate here, produce over there.

German energy giant RWE has taken a massive loss of €2.8 billion,
. . . spent much of the past decade fighting against the country’s energy transition,
. . . it's dumping nuclear energy and transforming to renewables.
“This trend will continue in the next few years and it is irreversible.”

"Between 2011 and 2015 Germany will open 10.7 GW of new coal fired power stations. The expected
annual electricity production of these power stations will far exceed that of existing solar panels."
They're going for cheap short run and not considering the expensive long run; air pollution, health issues, etc.
