The "green" parties around Europe also tried to get people to switch to solar/wind and other renewables. But the parties in charge (with their oil company lobbyists) didn't want that.

And now those parties are blaming the greens because "you told us to get rid of nuclear".



The technology is only just getting to the point a solar/wind grid is remotely feasible. Relying on it 40 years ago would have been laughable.

Nuclear and hydropower are the only reliable options to be the backbone of the grid.
