German opposition MPs propose checking feasibility of restarting #nuclear plants
The lawmakers said that the energy transition in Germany could only work “with a cost-turn towards greater efficiency.” They argued that the current government’s “regulation frenzy,” for example in the controversial heating transition law, would not be accepted by citizens. The leading instrument for climate policy in Germany should be a CO2 price, of which proceeds are redistributed to citizens instead of financing transformation support programmes, they added.
Of course, there are critical voices:
Ingrid Nestle, energy and climate spokeswoman for the coalition government member Green Party, said the CDU’s proposals would glorify “a museum of German industry” instead of supporting future-oriented technologies. “If the CDU is interested in [energy] security, then renewables are the key,” Nestle told news agency dpa in an article published by Zeit Online.
I’m just wondering if Ms Nestle considers nuclear power with its 5.6 gCO2eq/kWh emissions to be a “museum of German industry”, then I’m wondering what she thinks of the 10 GW new fossil gas power plants (430 gCO2eq/kWh) which are required only because of new #renewables are being added 🤔
