German lawmakers divided as last nuclear plants close
The remaining three nuclear power stations went offline on Saturday. Some politicians have welcomed the shutdown while others warned that the intermittent nature of renewable energy will require more fossil fuels.
The greens were so obsessed with their irrational fear of nuclear energy that they just ate from the fossil fuel lobby’s plate, instead of focusing on ending the dependency on fossil fuels *first*. Their inability to understand nuance and to think in broad terms made sure that the number one CO2 polluter in Western Europe will remain in this position for the foreseeable future. /rant
