Green party ministers in Germany have been accused of lying about safety issues at the country’s nuclear power plants to ensure they were shut down, even as the war in Ukraine threatened European energy supplies.
A German media outlet has accused Green ministers in the country’s coalition government of covering up key technical reports that suggested keeping the nuclear plants open would have lessened the country’s energy squeeze in 2022.
The magazine Cicero claimed that Patrick Graichen and Stefan Tidow, junior Green ministers at the economy and environment ministries respectively, re-wrote the documents to falsely suggest that retaining the power stations was “not tenable” on technical or security grounds.
Green turn out to be the same lying toads as every other politician.

BiW,
That’s amusingly written and a great summary, thanks.
To add to the madness they’ve had to take down wind turbines so that they could start open cast mining for the dirtiest of coal to keep the coal generators running.
Greens – Stupid and evil in equal measure.
What with this and the destruction of the Haber Bosch process in much of Europe it’s almost as though the Greens (and all other politicians and ‘leaders’) want a lot of us to die.
Interested: That is, and always has been, their intention.
You will be astonished and horrified to learn that this has received as much attention from the mainstream media as the release of the “RKI files”, showing that public health wonks didn’t want lockdowns, masks, etc, but were ordered to do so by [censored], [censored], and [censored].
suggested keeping the nuclear plants open would have lessened the country’s energy squeeze in 2022.
It’s 2024 and the German economy is bleeding jobs like it’s just been shot in the stomach.
This is not a temporary energy “squeeze” for Germany, this is the end of the road for Germany as a First World country.
Burn Greens.
Melons: green on the outside, red on the inside.
BiW – At this point you would be justified in wondering if Germany suffers from some kind of shamanistic cultural phobia of electricity in general, that is how crazy this is.
It Couldn’t Happen Here.
Did anyone ever think that Green politicians were any less venal than all the others? They like to cultivate the image of ‘care for the environment’ makes them better people but if anything ‘the ends justify the means’ is stronger there than in the most rabid capitalist.
Alas the Greens seem to be flourishing in Oz as well.
Indeed my electorate is represented by a Green pollie. So you know that there’s at least one vote he didn’t get.

And to top it off, Germany has driven the EU [and UK] to decree that solar panels will become mandatory on all buildings
Not just public buildings, but /all/ buildings, including old ones…

Green politicians being hypocritical scumbags is not a surprise, but worse than the other groups because they so frequently present themselves as being so virtuous.
