Germany has higher taxation in an effort to force reduction in energy use.
Germany's sky-high taxation has nothing to do with their cost of energy. The average cost per kWh in the US is about $0.12 while in Germany, it has become a luxury at three times our cost, $0.35 per kWh.
If you look at the total cost of nuclear including plant construction & dismantling, nuclear is not cheaper than gas or coal.
