The "heating challenge" will be to get enough natural gas to keep residences able to run heating (and not have it cost a lot more than it already does).
I've got a fireplace. No electricity needed. A lot of the house would be cold, but beats freezing to death.
But yeah, shutting off the nuke plants ... another knee-jerk decision of the chancellor who ran Germany into the ground in her 16 year time in office.
Speaking of cold, we got our first snowfall yesterday. Didn't stick but the wind in the evening felt rather icy.
Cheers
Another thing that shutting the plants might effect is the price of electricity also outside Germany. I am not sure, but i think countrys buy electricity from other countrys all the time . Now if all the sudden there will be much less electricity on the market, it can mean that the price go up.
Fireplace is good , add some nice alcohol and you good to go ....at least for staying warm
