1 German politicians caught fabricating documents to justify Germany's nuclear phaseout
In April 2023 Germany shut down their last 3 nuclear power plants.
At the time 59% of Germans opposed the nuclear shutdown with only 34% in support.
In recent days it has been alleged that junior Green Ministers in the German government (Patrick Graichen and Stefan Tidow) rewrote documents from experts because the experts argued that the nuclear power plant's lifetime should be extended.
Without nuclear, Germany has been stuck with some of the highest emissions and highest power prices in all of Europe. Compare that to their France neighbor which get 99% of their power from low carbon sources. 65% of that comes from nuclear (which is often exported to Germany!).
Germany is currently the only member of the G20 which doesn't have nuclear power or isn't moving towards it (watch this space).
It is also the only member of the G7 which doesn't have nuclear power. This is particularly interesting considering that a few days ago the G7 released a communique in support of nuclear.
Let's not end up like Germany.
Instead, let's follow the lead of the world's leading economies and embrace nuclear power.
