Perhaps the Biggest Winner in $Germany’s Election: #NuclearPower

The victorious #conservatives and the surging #FarRight both are big fans.

Alexander C. Kaufman, February 27, 2025

"Nuclear energy may be the big winner.

"Europe’s largest economy shuttered its last reactors two years ago in what was meant to be an irreversible exit from atomic energy. But surging energy prices and electricity demand are driving calls to revive Germany’s nuclear power industry.

"As the victorious Christian Democratic Union (#CDU) and its sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, wrote in their party manifesto, 'We are resolved to stick with the nuclear energy option, counting on research on nuclear energy in its 4th and 5th generation, small modular reactors, and fusion reactors. We are assessing the resumption of operation of the recently-shut-down nuclear power plants.'"

@DoomsdaysCW This is bullshitty clickbait. Energy prices aren't "surging", the power industry bosses have stated quite clearly that nuclear is no option for them, and that the closed reactors' disassembly has progressed beyond the point of no return.

Merry greetings from Germany ;-)

@dozykraut Mother Jones usually isn't considered bullshitty clickbait. What do you think of DW?

@DoomsdaysCW Lots of journalists are currently making the mistake of considering some party's platform/program as a directional indicator for the country.

CDU, CSU and the Nazis from AfD are horribly out of touch with economic reality. In the end industry will make the decisions and there the consensus on nuclear is "takes too long, is too costly".

@dozykraut BTW, I love your handle. I had a "Grumpy Gramp" and suspect I'm turning into one myself.
