I lived in Germany 30 years and have followed the country ever since. I don't think Greenpeace is particular popular in Germany. They have few activists and few supporters. The Greens' party which is clearly anti-nuclear is much more popular and still it's by by far not the biggest one in the country. A founder of the Greens' party said it this weekend: Even the Greens' party did not kill nuclear power. It was chancellor Merkel, a conservative, having the right feeling for the sentiments of the majority.
- Braini 4y agoThat is true in some way but the original decision to shut them down was taken about 20 years ago by the left red/green government. Merkels convernment initially decided to keep them running longer but took a 180 after Fukushima, probably as you say having the right feeling for the majority opinion in the country at that time.
- usr1106 4y agoRight, there was the exit by red/green. Later there came the exit out of the exit probably by conservatives (I don't remember). After Fukushima came the exit out of the exit out of the exit by Merkel, conservative. That was slightly delayed by Covid or Russia's attack war (don't remember, probably the latter) but finalized last night.
