I agree with you, IF it's technically possible, then it should be done and I am sure that the technical progress will head into this direction. Renewable energy is a horse that you can bet on. BUT I am not sure if we are at a point already where renewable energy is affordable for the mass. We will see.
the quick shutdown was a bullshit opportunistic decision by the current government who earlier prolonged the running time of each plant by 12 years and now backed out faster than a virgin from a gangbang ;)

i don't like nuclear energy but shutting everything down immediately would never work as well. 2022 sounds reasonable.
