That's pure fiction. Cite your sources.

Russia has huge influence in German politics. I believe there is connection there as well, but I cannot find any public information to cite regarding funding of anti-nuclear power movements.


I asked for "citations" not a link dump. None of your links offer any tangible evidence for what you stated, that "Many of the "luddite" groups were funded, and in some cases entirely formed, by fossil fuel interests". Corroborate the claim or apologize for lying.

Copy and paste this thread into an LLM chat bot, and ask for clarity.

I cannot be bothered, as I think you are being obtuse.
