As it seems at the moment, it feels like it all spins in a circle.
There are people who dislike coal, so they occupy coal mines and coal power plants. Then there are some who protest against gas power plants. Either because of the current political situation with your country or because they dislike gas like the first group dislikes coal. Then you have a third group that has a problem with oil. Wants everything changed to get away from that...
And in the end, all the "alternatives" these groups have to offer are switching away from a certain energy carrier to using more of the other two. Or abandoning them altogether at once.
It's... you know, childish. The matter is spinning in circles. None of any of the three energy carriers is truly "cleaner" than the other. So, exchanging is pointless, as well as giving a certain type of energy carier up just because of a decades-old dogma - because there have been protests against the usage of that energy carrier already one generation of people ago.
This way to act, it seems... well, indeed like groups who are being orchestrated and directed like a 5th column. Or like people whose parents already held protests and rallies in the 80s in West Germany, and the children got to eat that shit from early on, now pursing the same agenda as adults without any timly update to it.
Or - I think I can put that on the table - this has in fact nothing to with it and these groups of some radical activists are being manipulated into carrying out the sabotage work of a competitor in the same business. Like when there's constantly some shit going on in and with a peasant's field, and it turns out there's a competitor who wants to acquire the land of the peasant.
Abandoning all of the different fossil fuels would maybe be the correct thing to do in ecological terms, but it's totally unrealistic. As those energy carriers are the driver which actually made this modern life possible. This modern life that enables such people like the activists worry the most about what to study at university instead of keeping a job in order to be able to afford enough food daily, that enables them to travel hundreds of kilometers in just a few hours instead of walking on foot for weks, and that even provides them with the main means these people communicate and coordinate themselves with - smartphones and the internet. Nobody wanted a downgrade from all that, so this idea can be skipped in an instant...
