I'm no expert but seems to me your country (Germany) has long been in front on these issues, you have a strong green party and activists since the 70'. But hidden forces were and are nevertheless still looming, see the automobile industry and the scandal with diesel emissions, I'm sure there are scrambling to transition toward EV but in the meantime I would not be surprised if they battled behind closed doors to slow the adoption or proposal of measures that could hurt their business and in the end German economy.

- CalRobert 7y agoThe greens have a terrible split between "environmentalists who want a drum circle" and "environmentalists who can add". The former think nukes are an unspeakable horror. TBF, if you can add, you also realize that nukes are a mediocre fix at best, given that wind/solar/better efficiency get you where you want to be generally much cheaper. But if you're looking at "nukes or coal" it should be a no brainer.
- doe88 7y agoOk, I see your point, problem is nuclear is clean (wastes excluded) as long as everything is going just fine, but as soon there is an issue it can have a massive impact on the environment. I'm myself in favor of nuclear energy but I also can see its danger and understand why some peoples are against.
