NO.
Not the greens closed down nuclear power in Germany, but the Merkel gvt did that straight after Fukushima the decision was done, 11 nuclear power plants were already closed down by the Merkel gvt, the last three were set for Dec 2022, and were stretched to run until end of March 2023...by the greens....as those three left over nuclear power plants only received the basic maintenance needed, they didn´t get those full maintenance, when running for longer, as the provider running them, knew, that they will be closed down... therefor the max timespan to extand were three months only...
But it didn´t matter anyway, as Germany doesn´t have electricity problems, those 3 last nuclear power plants were producing about 6 % of Germany´s electricity only anyway. which had been compensated already more than enough with renewables
Germany still has six research reactors, as that country, where nuclear power/fission has been discovered/developed by Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn... it just doesn´t get used to produce electricity anymore.
