At this point, it may be too late. 20 years ago this would’ve been a great idea, but now it’s just time to go all in on renewables.

This is pure populism, Nuclear Energy is not coming back to Germany but a large amount of voters seem to like the idea so the parties back it (during the election campaign). Once the election is over the topic is gonna get dropped fast. Rebuilding the infrastructure necessary is way too expensive for these parties as they are the same that want to keep the debt brake and lower taxes for the top 10%, there would be no funding. As no private energy Provider wants to get back into nuclear energy so it would require heavy state funding though.
Additionally it would take way too long to rebuild the infrastructure as you don’t just need the Powerplants but also Workers to man these but obviously all necessary University faculties no longer exist.
Also it’s just no longer necessary, plain and simple.

Jens Spahn is as incompetent as he’s corrupt to the bones. No surprise that he’s also a MAGA fanboy.

Nuclear is a 20 year investment.

it
will
not
happen
every power company has said its not feasable in the slightest to reactivate the shut down NPPs or build new ons. new ones would take 12-15 years here in germany. and probably with triple the costs and in the end for what? 3-4% power generation for germany in 2040?
stop with this populistic bullshit.

Yes it’s about time Germany restarts its green transition

So tear down the renewables and build nuclear. In the mean time buy Russian gas I suppose

Germans love paying high prices for electricity and repeat like a mantra “Nuclear is dead”. The alternatives?
* Batteries (to have the scale maybe in 20 years)
* Green hydrogen (and other fairy tales)
* Connect their grid to other countries to buy cheaper energy from them (while these countries see their electricity bill multiply)
So I foresee another 20 years of paying the highest energy prices in Europe while they repeat “Nuclear is dead, sun is cheaper” until their industry disappears.

Merz was literally the fucking one that got rid of them together with Merkel!
Shutting down Nuclear Plants and instead continue with Coal Power …BRILLIANT IDEA!

Given that I haven’t read of Söder having secured deals to build an unsubsidized nuclear plant with storage somewhere, id say we throw Spahn into jail to rot away.

It was a dumb idea to turn them off, but I don’t know if it’s feasible to just turn them on again.

Why wouldnt it be a good idea? I think it could be useful

They can push , not gonna happen. All Energy companies dont even want it anymore.

This will not happen.
But it is a nice way to push any necessary changes in other areas (renewables) further out.

Conservatives don’t want change. This sucks.
