Indeed, if Germany invested in alternative energy first then decoupling from Russia wouldn't have been such a big problem. For some weird reason German greens absolutely hate nuclear though.
There's a liberal trend in green politics here in the US that hates nuclear energy, also. They tend to justify the view by only ever bringing up the dangers of nuclear power, and arguments about nuclear waste (ignoring the fact we keep getting better in both these areas). I'm willing to bet the German greens hold the same views.
I've even seen people like that on here before when the topic's come up too, it's an annoyingly common sentiment
I'm not surprised. I've seen a few green politics opinions here that seem idealistic or moralistic to me.
That's my impression as well. It's just kind of become a cult at this point with no rational thought behind it.
