They actively hindered the expansion of renewable energy sources.
The greens where in early opposition to the energy deals with Russia.
- like_any_other 10mo ago> They wanted solar and photovoltaics lol. Germany still used ~40% fossil fuels and another ~8% in "biomass" (unclear how much of that meant cutting down forests) in 2020 - did the Greens think 40% of German electricity consumption in renewables would magically materialize only after nuclear power plants were shut down, that's why they didn't want to promote renewables first and shutting down nuclear only after fossil fuels were eliminated from the grid? > the past administration favored cheap gas and oil from russia So it was Merkel's CDU that did Russian bidding, and the Greens were just useful idiots?
