    There’s a liberal trend in green politics here in the US that hates nuclear energy, also. They tend to justify the view by only ever bringing up the dangers of nuclear power, and arguments about nuclear waste (ignoring the fact we keep getting better in both these areas). I’m willing to bet the German greens hold the same views.

      That’s my impression as well. It’s just kind of become a cult at this point with no rational thought behind it.

      I’ve even seen people like that on here before when the topic’s come up too, it’s an annoyingly common sentiment

        I’m not surprised. I’ve seen a few green politics opinions here that seem idealistic or moralistic to me.
