Complete wrong on every count, but also hostile and ignorant

1) The German Green movement killed nuclear decades ago, not 'now' - otherwise those plants would have already been built.

2) The conservatives parties have been pro-nuclear forever - they phased out Nuclear due to populist concerns, not ideological.

3) This is not even controversial - this is literally just political history on the continent.

4) "basically far-right propaganda. " good god, grow up. Not every bit of history is 'propaganda', and I'm not a German Voter.

>> Nuclear Energy on the Continent and in many other places was killed by the Green Party movement <<

In Germany specifically [1] the data shows decisively an acute, anti-Nuclear populist sentiment, as a result of the 'Green' movement.

The German Green movement used 'radicalism' and 'propaganda' ate away at public reason - the evidence for this is how far away the German data point was from everywhere else.

It's why Russia is powerful, partly why Europe cannot support it's own industrial basis.

It's an existential problem, and Nuclear needs to be part of the Energy mix.

So do you hold a grudge or why are you talking in the fucking past? Conservatives lacking a spine is now "they phased out Nuclear due to populist concerns" ok.

Is your solution to look in the past and blame everyone to solve the problems today?

Of course in Hindsight phasing out nuclear so fast was a mistake. Does that solve our problems now?
