That article is about the Stasi infiltrating the German Green Party.

> Indeed, far from being an indictment of Stasi infiltration of the Greens, Gieseke and Bahr's study is a portrait of a largely failed attempt by the Communist German Democratic Republic (GDR) to co-opt the nascent left-wing party on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

How did a few Stasi cooperators the 1980s Green Party translate into experts recommending Germany's nuclear power plants be shut down in the late 2010s?

OK that's a lot of reading (HN equivalent of a Gish Gallop?), but only one seems to be about Germany and it doesn't mention experts advising on the closure of nuclear plants, so I'm just going to assume there is indeed no source for your claims that any of them were on Russian payroll.

Are you seriously using an article quoting Devin Nunes as an authorative source?

and foxnews :) if those would be the only sources it would be garbage, but there are 6 seemingly independent ones stating same thing.

You really should improve the quality of your sources before you start presenting things as fact.

"Seemingly" doesn't really do it for me, especially not when there is a concerted, well financed effort to pull the wool over your eyes.
