German Chancellor Olaf Scholz brushed off the latest bid by his Free Democrat coalition partners to reverse the country’s exit from nuclear power, calling the technology a “dead horse.”
Lawmakers from the pro-business FDP have called for a halt to the decommissioning of Germany’s remaining atomic plants as a way to help ensure the security of energy supply. Scholz rejected the proposal, saying that the government is focusing its efforts on expanding renewables and that “nuclear power is finished.”
“I don’t even need to put my foot down, because the facts are that when the use of nuclear power came to an end, dismantling also began,” he added. The decision to complete the nuclear phase-out, which was first codified in a 2002 law and finalized after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, came at a time when many countries are moving in the opposite direction.
