It was the conservative party, CDU, who made the decision after Fukushima to shut down nuclear power.
- ffhhttt 3y agoIt was the Social Democrats and the Greens back in 1998 who decided to stop all nuclear development and close all the existing plants over the next 10-20 years. Nuclear was already long doomed by the time Fukushima happened
- Phil_Latio 3y agoAnd the greens would have done it even sooner or could have stopped it now...
- mr_mitm 3y agoYes, would have, but let's not pretend it's now entirely the green's fault that we now don't have nuclear power, which the comment I replied to did. They could have prolonged the life of only three power plants for a limited amount of time. Going back to nuclear now is a decision that should have been made decades ago, when CDU was ruling.
- EspressoGPT 3y agoAnd it is now being enforced by the green party at the worst time since Fukushima – a period of very expensive and scarce energy – for idealogical reasons.
