They are probably being downvoted because they are pinning the decisions lead by CDU on the Green party. If they didn't misrepresent the situation they most likely would not get downvoted. Funny how that works, no?
The CDU may have made the decision but the Greens were in favor of it, were they not?
Don't forget that this is complety against current public sentiment in germany: https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/germany-sees-ti...
What are they gonna use for power?
In 2022 ( https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2023/03... ): - 33% coal - 11% natural gas - 24% wind - 11% solar - 6% nuclear Nuclear was already winding down with only 6% in 2022. Medium term renewables are growing and will replace it, short term coal and gas.

>Actually not every way though.. nuclear waste has to go somewhere. I don't understand your argument; of course waste must go somewhere. Nuclear power, with its waste, is still cleaner than fossil fuels in every way.
> nuclear waste has to go somewhere. My stock comment for that is: bury it deep and with signs; if we've lost the ability to read the signs, we've lost the ability to dig deep and endanger ourselves.
This will result in 15 MT more CO2 emissions per year https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/15-millionen-tonnen-mehr-co2-...
I wonder if Greta will show up to protest this..
This is one of the stupidest things any country has voluntarily done.

Unfortunately popular sentiment doesn't equate to scientific fact. Nuclear power is cleaner, safer and less environmentally damaging than fossil fuels in every way. Still, since when have politicians ever let facts get in the way of campaigning for power?
"Nuclear power is cleaner [..] than fossil fuels in every way." Actually not every way though.. nuclear waste has to go somewhere.
