Germany phasing out nuclear was announced after the Fukushima nuclear desaster in 2011. Thunberg was 8 at that time.

Also nuclear energy is mostly CO2 neutral so I don't see how this is related.




Sorry, I take comment above as non-literal. Greta is not the direct cause but energy strategy driven by climate policies (where there’s push back against nuclear in some circles) might caused Germany land in a tough spot over-reliant on Russian gas supply.

This is my current understanding and an interesting topic I would love to learn more.


Anti-nuclear policies are at best orthogonal, at worst opposed to climate policies though.
