I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. Germany went the German environmentalists’ way in full and now they have the dirtiest electricity in Europe. I really don’t get what’s controversial about this.
Wild guess: I said a negative thing about a movement they like. Maybe just environmentalism in general; it seems like the actual Germans on here complain about the Greens, more than not.
Second guess: I complained about movements that oppose things, with no actual constructive suggestions. A lot of readers are in the picture, and they don’t like it.
I knew this was going to get more hate then love when I posted it, like +1/-1 or something. The surprise is that it got a fair bit of attention!
FWIW, I, OP who’s being downvoted, never said they have the dirtiest electricity anywhere. They don’t, there’s tons of solar power despite it being a cloudy, northern place.
I’m guessing, like, Hungary is still pretty fossil-fuel reliant.
And, at a deeper level, what you get when your political movement (German environmentalists, in this case) opposes everything and recommends nothing.

Simply because it’s a lie.

German electricity is much dirtier than it would be if they kept nuclear.
That’s what you said.

It was an hyperbole, the core of my argument remains unchanged. Don’t be pedantic.
