The original plan was to only shut the reactors down when enough renewable energy sources would be available to replace them. The Merkel government wanted to prolong the initially planned phase outs. Then Fukushima happened. Bad optics. So after pressure from the populace they instead of prolonging their runtime (as they wanted initially), they shut them down, but earlier than planned.
What are you talking about? Greens are neither pro-gas nor pro-Russia. They were amongst those warning previous governments of energy dependence on Russia, and were basically the most decisively pro-Ukranian party in the previous government.
They also weren't the ones who made the decision to shut down the remaining nuclear plants, despite what "conservatives" would like you to believe.

Get the facts straight.
Not running on Russian gas for a few more years might have some nonlinear effects around 2022 :-/
This is false.
The topic was a calculated decision by her and her cabinet, based purely on fear mongering to gain voters.
Blaming the green party or even calling this "woke" sounds wrong.
So funny that the Green Party and Putin fit like hand in glove. Natural gas is somehow Very Good but nuclear is Very Bad.
"It's funny because it's true". Parts of the German green movement (esp. the anti-nuclears) were actively funded by the KGB.
Any proof for this claim?
