Germany decommissioned its nuclear power early due to efforts of environmental activists. This isn’t some fantasy. It actually happened.
They aren’t solely at fault: the right blocked carbon taxes or any kind of solution they could. But greens had their eye on the wrong ball for sure.

Germany's certainly doing an admirable job with renewables in general, and increasing their wind power capacity specifically. Not to mention the manufacturing and tech associated with that stuff. I live in the US near a turbine made by Kenersys in Germany and it kills me that it made sense to import that, instead of buying one manufactured locally.
