Germany should build as many nuclear plants as possible, Fatih Birol proclaims.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s admission that Germany’s nuclear phase-out was a “serious strategic mistake” has won an emphatic endorsement from Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency. In an interview with Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is part, Birol said he was “very pleased” to hear Merz’s words. To him, the chancellor’s self-critique is a signal that German energy policy may be heading in “a safer and more sensible direction.”
Any discussion about restarting the decommissioned German reactors is completely removed from reality. It’s not happening. The politicians who keep trotting out this old saw are either completely clueless or simply lying.
Söder or any of his ministries still haven’t been able to name one of those experts who supposedly claim that putting the decommissioned power plants back into operation is feasible.
Clueless lying politician? Good heavens! Surely you’re not serious!
