That's technically correct, however much of the Greens' ideology has been gradually adopted by essentially all other political parties over the past 10-15 years, most likely since it's rather popular with the voters here.

There's no political party left you could vote for if you are in favor of nuclear.

Right and their ideology is to build more solar and wind. Which, even when factoring in the cost of batteries, is cheaper than nuclear or almost any other form of energy.

All true. In hindsight though I wish the political debate had considered climate change more seriously in plans how to phase out coal and nuclear.

Well the plan was created >20 years ago but depended on the lifeline to actually develop enough renewables which got almost completely blocked by conservative governments in the last decade who still phased out nuclear. Don’t blame the Greens for that.

Solar and Wind power was completely blocked up by conservative governments all over the globe for the past 50 years. Consider Reagan, who removed solar panels from the roof of the white house just a few years after they were installed and not long after multiple oil supply crises in the 70s. Even if the solar panels being installed in the first place was only symbolic, removing them was also purposefully symbolic.

America at least had a great chance to invest in nuclear energy and completely end dependence on the middle east for it's energy, but it chose Reagan instead.
