- pchangr 5y agoIMHO, Germans are betting on not getting bashed by the workers unions only. When the whole anti-nuclear frenzy from the 90s came in.. coal workers seized the opportunity.. and they couldn’t get rid of them until the EU pressure was too much .. so they turned to the next cheapest option.. which at the time was gas… and until the EU realizes gas is also not green.. gas is the new coal.
