Wrong. (1) German voters can only vote for German politics, not for Czechia
and not for France. (2) There have been many protests and actions from
Germans and Austrians against new nuclear plants in Czechia, esp. Temelin.
(3) Where multinational power companies buy and sell which electricity is
beyond the political will of the people here. Free market, you know...

If all those who are against nuclear power in Germany really buy "green"
electricity instead of French or Chech power? Well, I don't know.

I don't think that those who are against nuclear power plants here are pro
nuclear power elsewhere. But to vote for nuclear power here wouldn't
prevent plants like Temelin.
