Perhaps the Biggest Winner in #GermanElections: #NuclearPower

The victorious #conservatives and the surging #FarRight both are big fans.

Alexander C. Kaufman, February 27, 2025

"Nuclear energy may be the big winner.

"Europe’s largest economy shuttered its last reactors two years ago in what was meant to be an irreversible exit from atomic energy. But surging energy prices and electricity demand are driving calls to revive Germany’s nuclear power industry.

"As the victorious Christian Democratic Union (#CDU) and its sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, wrote in their party manifesto, 'We are resolved to stick with the nuclear energy option, counting on research on nuclear energy in its 4th and 5th generation, small modular reactors, and fusion reactors. We are assessing the resumption of operation of the recently-shut-down nuclear power plants.'"

Watching the #FDP fall out of the #Bundestag after collapsing a progressive government makes me wish there was a word for the feeling of satisfaction for the misfortune of others...

A guy from the Czech Republic on LBC just made a brilliant point. Eastern Europe was for 40 years isolated behind the Iron Curtain. During that time, they had pretty much zero immigration. They are therefore a long way behind the rest of Europe in terms of multi-culturalism. That could explain the increased support for the AfD party in the former East Germany.
