Yeah i blame most green parties for this situation.

We could have a bunch of nuclear power plants now and be decades ahead in electrification of many aspects of society and industry.

And yet… here we are.



I blame fossil fuel companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil_climate_change_deni...

They're the ones who lied about climate change. They also funded anti-nuclear propaganda.


Where did the greens hold power?

The Christian-Democrats signed the end of nuclear power in Germany, not the Greens. Please stop this mindless scapegoating. And electricity is only 30% of our global carbon emissions.

And Angela Merkel held onto the phase-out of nuclear power plants all the way until her final term ending in december 2020.
