Baerbock considers the continued operation of nuclear power plants "not the right step"

The challenge is the gas supply, said the Greens politician. “And that’s why nuclear power isn’t the answer.”

In such “difficult decision-making processes” it is always important “that every step is based on facts,” said Baerbock. That’s why Economics Minister Robert Habeck (also Green) is currently examining the situation in a second stress test. “We’re waiting for the results.”

At the same time, she warned against the frivolous continued use of nuclear power beyond 2022: “It was not without reason that we in Germany got out of nuclear power.”
