Looks as if all the anti nuclear attitudes was inspired by somebody with a load of gas and 2 big pipes...

German Greens lost big in elections last Sunday.

They should have repositioned to support nuclear, increase VAT, reduce waste, plant trees... there are so many battles they could have taken on!

I think they are so corrupted, they los their only reason to be.

To single out the only party in Germany that opposed NS2, that wanted to get away from Russian gas when 90% of Germans were against that, that wanted to supply Ukraine with weapons - all prior to the Ukraine invasion - and to pretend that they are in bed with Russians only shows how fucking clueless you are.

To be fair, the Greens were the only party to oppose Nord Stream 2. However, they did support (and where in power togehter with the SPD) the construction of Nord Stream 1, which was already part of the Energiewende plan, as cheap gas was (and still is) required for it.

On the other hand they were in government when the Nord Stream 1 agreement was made official and building began.

Sure, Russia that exports nuclear power plants and processes 50% of the world's uranium wants to get others' off of nuclear energy, when it's the energy source they have the tightest grip on.

How much money is in nuclear fuel vs gas? And how much power can russia enforce over countries addicted to its gas?
