Yes it’s good, but it’s bad that conservative parties still blocking modernization of the power grid/renewables.

It would be good if we could modernize our grid to support easier exchange of power from north to south and vise versa.

Was it the environmentalists or the corrupt German government wanting to send more money to Russia for their natural gas via nordstream2

The anti-nuclear position in Germany is very old, and core to the existence of Greenpeace and green parties on DACH region (down to firing RPGs at reactors).

Does Russia benefit and probably fund it? Sure.

But DACH environmentalism grew from antinuclear protests, not the other way around, and thus will boycott nuclear even when it goes against their modern stated goals.

Sometimes interests intersect.

> Well, sure is good the environmentalists shut down the German nuclear plants!

Shutting down the nukes is inversely proportional to homeopathy popularity in Germany. That says it all

That sounds like a neat statistic. Do you have a source containing the data or better yet a rendered map showing this?
