Accusing the Greens of being ideology driven when they have shown to be pragmatic is a joke. Not sticking to any ideology is the reason their politicians top the popularity polls. And wanting something back is one thing, getting something back another. If you want nuclear power back, you must build new plants - good luck, it will only take 20 years! The Green-led BMWK explained in detail the many real hurdles that come with prolonged use of nuclear power. Strangely, I have never seen any oh-so rational nuclear power lover dissect their arguments.

When you have party refusing nuclear power plants out of fear from radiation and then same party agrees with extending coal mines and coal power plant, which are spitting radioactive waste around environment in uncontrolled manner from ash, then they are purely driven by anti-nuclear ideology.

  Well in all fairness - deindustrialisation and a communist-like economy are probably also a very popular third alternative for them…

The Green party is the third/fourth most “popular” party in Germany slightly ahead or en par with the AfD (https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/). I will not comment on the incompetence of the Habeck (Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action). It’s cringe what he states publicly and his incompetence is beyond comprehension. There is no “green-sustainable” alternativ to nuclear in Germany. The only alternatives are relying on coal or deindustrialisation. Not sure whether gas will be a viable option going forward. Take a look at Berlin - the capital is a sh*t show of incompetence and failure - funnily enough they can only survive thanks to the payments from the much frowned upon states that have conservative parties in power and a positive economy…

South Korea builds them in 3 years. We can too, if we want to. Rolls Royce is building a factory for nuclear reactors. That'll speed things up further. A lot. If you mean this: https://www.bmuv.de/themen/atomenergie-strahlenschutz/nukleare-sicherheit/faq-akw-laufzeitverlaengerung https://www.bmuv.de/themen/atomenergie-strahlenschutz/nuklea... It's completely BS, not really worth bothering with.
