The view of the European Union (aka German Green Party) is that Nukular Energy is not renewable or desirable. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-nuclear-energy-good-for-...


Germany is champion of hypocrisy: stopped nuclear plants and ramped up coal usage, now plans to build gas fired stations and labels them green.

Not just any coal either. They opted for brown coal, the least efficient and most dirty kind.


Certain countries in the EU view that nuclear energy is not "green", not the whole EU. The European Commission will make a call very soon for the upcoming funding period and frankly it looks like they will support nuclear energy.


That's not the view of the EU, many countries in it are heavily pro-nuclear and fighting to have it marked as "green".


Surely that must be a politically motivated stance.
