It's not continously true for Germans tho. When the green party makes it into the ruling coalition it always feels they care and a few good things happen for the benefit of most.

And then the next government takes those good things, which they have massively decried when they were the opposition, only to reimplement the exact same thing with a slightly modified name.

And Germans vote for those governments. (Technically they vote for the parties in the parliament and the resulting coalition can be a bit hard to predict, but y'know.)

There are definitely parties that you can vote for that hate Germans less than the current government parties.

They will fill it up with water once they are done mining. It'll take about 40 years to fill though, between ground water and extracting water from the Rhine river.

German Green Party abhors nuclear energy; after Fukushima the government closed all the nukes and coal filled the gap “but renewables will be ready soon”.

It's like saying that wearing designer boots that are on a decade's back order and gradually fall apart as summer progresses is not how to keep your feet cool during endlessly worsening heat caused by the neighbors burning sneakers like the Springfield Tire Fire from The Simpsons.

(Compared to renewable energy, nuclear is more expensive, takes much longer to build, is more wasteful, and is becoming less and less effective and safe as a result of climate change warming the water sources the plants depend on)

True, and it still doesn't include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.

And "imports" do not happen, because there isn't enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.

They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.
