And yet, despite multiple attempts by those on the political right to slow it down, they've powered ahead with reducing coal and gas usage.
Some of those critics focus on nuclear
(Like AfD: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/populist-afd-sand-gears-german-climate-efforts https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/populist-afd-sand-gears...) and some of those pretend to be angry about the slowness of Germanys transition but it doesn't really add up to anyone who pays attention to the local facts. It's just a meme to get people angry at the left and/or environmentalists, while the right openly and continually sabotage progress.
- philipallstar 1y agoOpposition to nuclear is 90% a "left" wing problem. Blaming the boogeyman "right" is silly in general, as left-right is a thought-terminating scale, but really silly in this case where it actually is pretty clear-cut. Greenpeace did great work on the peace front, but wrecked 50 years of carbon progress on the nuclear power front.
