German Chancellor admits shutting nuclear plants was a “serious strategic mistake” — will rebuild nuclear. Media quiet. By Joanne Nova.

Germany shut down its last three reactors in April 2023, but three years later, they’ve realized it was a terrible mistake and want to rebuild them or put small modular reactors “likely on the same sites”.

After 66 years of operating nuclear power without any major accidents, the irony was that Germany shut down its nuclear industry mostly because other countries had accidents. But now they admit they need more electricity.

This would be one of the biggest backdowns in the fake renewables “transition”. Germany is the third largest economy in the world, and Chancellor Merz said this openly at a business conference a few days ago, but the mass media have said nothing. …

Germany once had 19 nuclear power plants, which provided more than a quarter of its electricity, but now they are bleeding industrial power, losing solar, wind power, EVs and now AI before it has barely started. …

“Merz has dropped German opposition to nuclear energy in EU law, opening the door for German companies to invest in French small modular reactor projects.”

 

 

Two years ago a study showed that if Germany just kept nuclear power, it could have saved $600b and cut emissions by 73%. If the Greens cared about emissions they would have been begging Germany to keep nuclear power. But it was never about “the science” was it?

German leaders and their strategic mistakes.
