German Green Party abhors nuclear energy; after Fukushima the government closed all the nukes and coal filled the gap “but renewables will be ready soon”.
ETA the greens weren’t government but their anti nuclear stance was a helpful part.
Fukushima was such bullshit. It was never a good design in a reasonable place and they knew it when they built it. It’s like saying we shouldn’t wear shoes in snow because your neighbor wore Crocs in 3ft snow drifts while hiking and lost their feet.
