Our government depends on the consent of the operators to turn them off. They should've never extended the life of those nuclear power plants in the first place... But hey, we don't have enough energy and energy would be more expensive if we had not done that ... NOT. Energy from coal plants is cheaper and would be way more cheaper if the operators had to insure the nuclear power plants correctly and had to pay for the final disposal of the nuclear waste. Instead, they let the people pay that and subsidize nuclear power this way. Germany produces way more energy than it needs, even when those eight old power plants are taken off the grid. What our gov is doing now is pure actionism in fear of the coming elections. The next election will be in Baden Württemberg and their top dog there is know to be a fan of nuclear power. They fear losing the elections in BaWü, that's all. They don't care about the life of us dirty peasants.Originally Posted by saaya
All the CDU/CSU and FDP does is for the good of the shareholders and companies. Yesterday they said that security now has priority over econimical reasons. Wait? Security wasn't more important than the money purse of the big companies before the Fukushima accident? Hypocrites.
