Germany’s new Economy Minister Katherina Reiche on Friday called for the rapid construction of new gas-fired power plants in the country to support the country’s energy supply when renewable sources are unavailable
She said it was important to “quickly move to tender at least 20 gigawatts of gas-fired power plants to maintain energy security.”
Reiche ruled out a return to nuclear energy
"This means we need to conclude the relevant free trade agreements with Chile, Mercosur, India, Australia and Mexico. And I explicitly say, we also need the United States of America," Reiche said.

Modern Nuclear isn’t a big scary dangerous prospect. I am German and I’d have no problem with it close by. So many Germans are afraid of Nuclear like it’s so scary boogeyman
So we found an Endlager in your backyard? Nice
Nuclear is more expensive than renewables.
Not just Germany. Also western Austria.
