The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the CSU, have launched a bid to revive Germany's waning nuclear power sector. This move challenges the ruling coalition's efforts to phase out domestic nuclear energy, which all parties have absorbed into their "green agenda of destruction."
Greens in government have presided over the complete removal of nuclear from Germany's grid, even demolishing decommissioned plants. But the CDU/CSU's "New Energy Agenda" aims to undo this "ideologically motivated wrong decision."
The policy outlines plans to reactivate remaining plants and build new nuclear facilities, including advanced modular reactors. CDU energy spokesman Jens Spahn said the "green" transition needs a "cost turnaround" to make energy affordable. Is this a little kandle of reason in the intellectual desert of german politics?
