Is the fossil fuel industry different in the US than EU? When Germany wanted to defined natural gas as "green investment", to act as a backup solution for wind power, it was the fossil fuel industry that was in favor and nuclear industry that was against. The pro-nuclear side wanted EU to clearly take a stand against all fossil fuels in the energy grid, while the pro-renewable side wanted to keep and promote investments into new construction of fossil fueled power plants with the hope that green hydrogen will at some point become cheaper than natural gas.
