Was it the environmentalists or the corrupt German government wanting to send more money to Russia for their natural gas via nordstream2

The anti-nuclear position in Germany is very old, and core to the existence of Greenpeace and green parties on DACH region (down to firing RPGs at reactors).

Does Russia benefit and probably fund it? Sure.

But DACH environmentalism grew from antinuclear protests, not the other way around, and thus will boycott nuclear even when it goes against their modern stated goals.

Sometimes interests intersect.
