…Germany Opposes Nuclear Power for Everyone… Donn Dears November 23, 2021 Germany has been working studiously at COP 26, at Glasgow, to have nuclear excluded from any sustainable investment made by any country. Here is a quote, from Clean Energy Wire that affirms Germany’s position on nuclear. “Germany will work towards an exclusion of nuclear power from the EU taxonomy for sustainable investments, the country’s environment minister Svenja Schulze has affirmed. ‘We don’t want nuclear energy, we don’t think it’s sustainable and we don’t want the EU to support it,’ the acting minister from the Social Democrats (SPD) told newspapers in an article carried by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.” In this context, taxonomy means a list of sustainable investments. This means the EU, and its members, would not provide funding, i.e., investments, for nuclear power anywhere in the world. This would be in addition to the barring of investments in coal-fired power plants by international banks announced at COP 26. Grohnde nuclear power plant to close end of 2021 At this point, it would appear as though COP 26 won’t include such an exclusion, but it establishes Germany’s broad opposition to nuclear power and that Germany is a powerful enemy of nuclear power. Germany will shutter its last nuclear power plant next year.
