Germany has ended its nuclear power era and shaded the last reactors. But the Bavarian Prime Minister does not seem to agree and is demanding legal action from the federal government.
According to his own statement, the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder would like to continue to operate nuclear power plants such as the shut down Isar 2 reactor under state responsibility. He is asking the federal government to change the Atomic Energy Act.
“Bavaria is therefore demanding that the federal government have its own state responsibility for the continued operation of nuclear power. As long as the crisis (in the energy supply as a result of the Ukraine war) does not end and the transition to renewables does not succeed, we must end any form of Use energy,” he told the “Bild am Sonntag”. Bavaria is ready for this.
It can be considered impossible that the traffic light coalition will go into this. Because then, among other things, the question of final storage of the nuclear waste produced in Bavaria would have to be clarified separately. In the nationwide search for a repository for the nuclear waste that has accumulated so far, Bavaria is already on the brakes as soon as a solution is to be found on the territory of the Free State.
