The Chancellor of Germany literally appointed an executive from Greenpeace to her cabinet - demonstrating her political alliance with Germany's "Green Party". Being anti-nuclear power is a foundational principle, dating back 50 years. They will NEVER accept nuclear power. No amount of logic or evidence will persuade them. Despite both the current energy crisis, and statements from the remaining 3 (of formerly 17) nuclear plants and the nuclear regulatory groups that they can continue to operate these remaining plants safely for years with existing nuclear fuel reserves - the German leadership has reaffirmed that they will close those remaining 3 nuclear plants THIS YEAR. DURING THE CRISIS. Imagine having a flat-earther during the race to the moon, or a anti-vax president during a pandemic. That is what it's like having an anti-nuclear extremist leadership in an energy crisis. They would literally rather burn coal. It is a form of entrenched ideology that will never compromise no matter how freezing cold Germans are this coming winter.
