Resistance against one form of energy is one thing. And then you start looking for alternatives. People began to ask where could you find alternative sources of energy. Solar for example. This was thirty years ago and someone had the idea that if you welded or soldered some copper pipes you might produce hot water. It didn't take long a people realized that even though this solar thing was a niche thing there was potential for economic development in this thing of the future. Shortly after the nuclear power plant debate the institute of solar energy systems was set up in Freiburg.
