    Translated from German from Cicero Magazine, the original source, so the language might be "unusual"

    it's talking about the decision to extend the life of the plants. Can't paste any more, paywall.

    How the Greens were deceptive about the nuclear phase-out

    The nuclear power files from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which Cicero sued for, show how the Green Party's puppet masters manipulated the decision to extend the life of German nuclear power plants in 2022. Robert Habeck was also misinformed.

    Jürgen Trittin celebrated April 15, 2023 in front of the Brandenburg Gate. It was the triumph of his life. He posed for the cameras in front of a yellow dinosaur that was lying on Pariser Platz with its legs stretched upwards. Kneeling on his stomach was a red man with the beaming “Nuclear power? No thanks” sun as a face. In one hand a sword, in the other the well-known emblem as a shield. Trittin, the dragon slayer, smiled contentedly and a little tiredly. It was the day on which the last German nuclear power plants were shut down. The political battle against the “nuclear state,” which had lasted more than half a century, finally seemed to have been won.The bitter capriciousness of history almost got in the way of the Green Party, who as Environment Minister under Chancellor Schröder sealed the end of nuclear energy in the early 2000s and watched over it as a member of the Bundestag until the end. Even before Russia's attack on Ukraine, the realization was growing in many industrialized countries that weather-dependent energy sources such as wind and solar alone would not be enough to abandon coal, gas and oil. Nuclear power is currently experiencing a global renaissance as a result of the climate protection discussion. When Germany's "energy transition", which had led straight to dependence on Russian natural gas, became an acute supply and security problem for all of Europe with Putin's war, a timid debate began even in the Federal Republic about whether the nuclear phase-out should be postponed or abandoned .
