Nobody in Germany wants fossil fuels. It’s just that the governments in the past 15 years fucked up big time and didn’t invest in renewables enough while still holding on the plans to shut down all nuclear power plants. So they shut them down before the renewables were ready and now we are fucked. Btw although they should just have the existing power plants leave running (especially because they probably were the safest in all of Europe is not the whole world) nuclear energy is NOT the answer. If you think it is then you either were manipulated by all the nuclear power shills on Lemmy or you are a shill yourself.
