Her Own Ministry Contradicts Reiche

“A confidential document from her own ministry contradicts the minister on almost every point.”

... writes telepolis.de about the economy minister’s plans to return to nuclear power. Just like Bavaria’s Minister President Markus Söder, the minister has been promoting mini-reactors — so-called SMRs — since February. She cites low costs due to the mass production of these “small power plants,” even though not a single SMR is currently connected to the grid and there is no evidence to support this assumption.

This is now also confirmed by a confidential briefing to the Bundestag’s Committee on Economic Affairs and Energy by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE). As a result, the paper reads like a rebuke to the minister herself.

The Greens also criticize the fact that the minister intends to continue supporting nuclear power with subsidies, even as subsidies for renewable energy are being cut. For climate reasons, immersion heater technology — dating back to the early days of the steam engine — is also considered dangerous in times of water scarcity.
