“We have to work to prevent the gas crisis from getting worse because of the electricity crisis,” Christian Lindner, in an interview with Blid, was an advocate of using other forms of energy.
Lindner emphasized that there are many arguments against closing nuclear power plants, which are safe and environmentally friendly and can be used, if necessary, until 2024.
Both liberals and conservatives have already shown themselves in favor of extending the life cycle of the three active reactors in Germany, which are due to close at the end of this year.
On the subject, German Chancellor Olaf Schulz said he was just waiting for the results of stress tests on the electrical system.
The economics and environment portfolios, Robert Habeck and Stevie Lemke, are open to the possibility of extending the useful life of reactors, for a short time, in an energy emergency scenario.
In the SPD and the Green Party, many have already spoken out against this possibility.
According to data from the Statistics Department (Destatis), citing the EFE Agency, 15.2% of the electricity produced in Germany last year was generated by gas, while nuclear power plants were responsible for 11.8%.
