My recent observations with regard to green parties suggestion is that they're pointing at the wrong direction pretty much all the time.
two recent case in point : they've been closing nuclear power plant in france and germany non stop, and as a consequence we're burning even more russian gaz than before, and since the war the horribly polluting gaz imported from the US.
Second example : they've passed a law in france to force home owner to better insulate their housing, but the implementation details are so messed up that all they've managed to do is make renting even more impossible for students.
So now, every time i see a law beeing passed under pressure of green parties, i look at where the horrible side effect is going to be this time.
France has been closing nuclear power plants non-stop??? Some reactors are EOL, the same is true for the USA and other countries since the nuclear power plant building boom was on the 70s and early 80s. However, France is still very pro nuclear power.
france used to be pro nuclear, but we've started the denuclearization process almost 15 years ago ( by not building new ones, not reopening restaured ones, and selling pieces of our companies that knew how to do it).
It's now at a point where we're trying to catch up with the latest tech in nuclear powerplant building coming from the US ( and probably china), with close-to-retirement engineers while they're still working, instead of being at the forefront of that technology.
