In this thread on Germany I am surprised to read about Jane Fonda (who?).

The European perspective is most strongly influenced by movements starting post Chernobyl.

This happened not only in Germany but also in Sweden and other countries. In Germany, for some reason (please tell us you German HN users) this movement has had an outsized impact and not even Merkel could stop dismantlement of nuclear.

It shouldn't take a crisis to rethink things, but we are humans and so it does.

What is the German perspective?
