Correct. This was known in advance that Russia will inevitably use natural gas for political reasons, but Germans weren't listening to "russophobic" Eastern Europe, instead they were actively trying to undermine Nuclear Power together with nuclear hypocrites from Austria (anti-Nuclear fanatics, suing everyone in EU who happens to have NPP, but has no problem to buy energy from Czech Republic NPP Temelin)
- q1w2 4y agoIt's important to remember that Russian influence operations across the globe have been generating anti-nuclear sentiment. It was part of their plan to hook Germany on Russian natural gas. They literally bribed German politicians to agree to shut down nuclear plants and double down on Russian gas imports, while also preaching the miracles of renewable energy that were never even designed to provide baseline power. The same is true in the US, Japan, Canada, France, New Zealand, UK... all of these countries have been nerfing their nuclear plant programs due to pressure from "green party" lobbyists that are veiled Russian interests.
