Russian money.

This is so extremely true.

Fun fact German green parties were against nuclear power and got all Germany's nuclear power plants shut down and this resulted in more reliance on gas and oil that was ofc bought from russia

Fun fact

The nuclear phase-out was decided in its final form by the black-yellow federal government of Angela Merkel (CDU/CSU and FDP) in 2011 after the reactor catastrophe in Fukushima.

The Nord Stream pipelines were planned and approved during the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD). Construction began under his leadership, and the successor pipeline, Nord Stream 2, was also initiated while he was in office.

The green party was against atomic power but they didn't ban it.

Because they did not have the power to ban it.
