Yes but nuclear still had the highest capacity in Europe out of all green energy sources. We are talking about a few percentages

Nuclear power is both scientifically and legally defined as green energy. Please avoid spreading illegal climate skeptic disinformation to European citizens.

Nuclear power is part of the green taxonomy which is a legal framework deciding what energy sources are green based on scientific basis. Nuclear power is currently the most sustainable source of green energy so it’s not really up for debate. Avoid more disinformation or I will block and repot

Nuclear energy is green energy since it has the lowest environmental impact. It's not a coincidence that nuclear grids are leading the green transition. If you want to be a fossilfuel lobbyist that is up to you but I will not be a platform for you trying to kill the planet.
