There are multiple reasons, first that 2 years would still be a very optimistic time frame. The energy companies got a huge reimbursement for the shutdowns and are therefore not interested in prolonging, because it would actually cost them more money than investing in other technologies. But the biggest reason is sadly the German publics prolific anti-nuclear views. There is basically zero public support behind the idea.
- SllX 5y agoWell that’s just unfortunate, because more than likely that means they’ll always be dependent on some kind of energy imports when they don’t have to be.
- V__ 5y agoYeah, either that or major investments in energy storage. My strong feeling is that Nordic countries will invest more in nuclear and export to the rest of Europe.
