This is true for a myriad of topics. But not regarding the energy transition away from nuclear and fossil fuels. The people of Germany are very much in support of this idea. 78% of Germans want this process to be finished even earlier and criticise our government for not moving fast enough on this topic.

Again, the point here is that the government doesn't appear to care one way or another. Public support or lack of thereof for any particular policy appears to play little role.
It does very much play a role. Because of the lack of public support it was not possible to build a long term nuclear storage facility in Germany. There have been multiple tries to establish such a site as early as 1979 in Gorleben. This project has been stopped by a large protest initiative.
I'm sure that if German government actually wanted to build a storage facility they could figure out how to get that done, and barring that they could make a deal with France or other countries who don't appear to have the issues Germany is having. Plenty of countries are using nuclear power in Europe just fine, and nuclear usage is only expanding. Germany is an outlier here.
They have tried for 45 years now and they tried it in Gorleben against the protest of the populace. There have been violent clashes between police and protesters, but in the end the protesters prevailed.
There also have been two storage facilities "Konrad" and "Asse" which have been catastrophic failures. Especially "Asse" was a horrific storage facility, with water leaks and corroded containers.

These experiences made it very hard to establish storage sites in Germany.
Exactly I think the German plans for the future of energy production are not produced out of thin air. It rather is the result of a well discussed issue that has been in the making for years. And now it's a feasible way to produce enough energy for the populace without resorting to fossil or nuclear fuel.
Yes I will as long as you are not engaging in a civil discussion, but keep succumbing to logical fallacies. You could try using viable arguments though.
I've stated my arguments for you repeatedly, and they haven't changed. It's pretty clear that I'm not going to convince you of anything nor will you convince me. Therefore, any meaningful discussion ended once the arguments were stated, and I see no point regurgitating the same points over and over. Are you so insecure in your views that you need external validation from strangers, and just can't accept that your points aren't convincing to others?
Me having opinions on a subject is not a personal attack. However, the fact that you see people stating their opinions as personal attacks says a lot about you as a person.
So try to elaborate what kind of opinion your trying to support when you say "Have a gold star".
It's this in support of your opinion or is it to undermine mine?

This may shock you to the core, but people don't get their views out of thin air.

yup that must be it 😂
Not a single argument from you to support your views or to deconstruct mine.
cry ab it

This discussion is not just about you and me.
And your point is?
My point is that we should not produce more nuclear waste as long as we do not have adequate storage facilities for the long term.
And I think that point is dumb. That's just like my opinion man.
Yes but still no argument and still just a personal attack.
There was no personal attack.
"I think that your point is dumb". Next time try something like: "I think your point is not valid" and it won't be a personal attack.
Me having opinions on a subject is not a personal attack. However, the fact that you see people stating their opinions as personal attacks says a lot about you as a person.
So calling me "unable to read" and"unable to comprehend" and all of Germany imbeciles is not a personal attack. I beg to differ.
The comment you replied to screeching about personal attacks was:
Yes and I have cited your other comments as well. That's what a credible source is.
And btw calling my point dumb is IMHO a personal attack. Next time try something like: I don't think your point is valid, because...[insert argument]
have a gold star
I don't understand what you are trying to say
that's been clear for a while
So try to elaborate what kind of opinion your trying to support when you say "Have a gold star". It's this in support of your opinion or is it to undermine mine?
it's me telling you that I'm done with the conversation
You maybe but I am not. I will keep asking you for arguments or credible sources to support your opinion or to undermine mine.
I see you don't understand how conversations work
I'm not trying to have a conversation I'm trying to have s civil discussion
and I think you're just perseverating
That's not a helpful argument to support your opinion
