German have terrible environmental awareness. They are irrationally anti nuclear to the point where they keep coal plants running long past the time they should have been stopped all for the sake of stopping nuclear power.
Switching to renewables is a laudable goal but the steps should have been phasing out coal first instead of nuclear first.

- Tenoke 5y agoThe CDU was pretty much the only one that wanted to keep nuclear with while near everyone else (except for AfD iirc) opposing them. By the time Fukushima happened the public sentiment and opposition was too strong for the CDU to keep attempting to push for nuclear. Blaming them on this specific issue is just odd when they literally had the least fault out of everyone.
