Former German nuclear plant directors write desperate letter to Merz

This is not just an appeal. It is a groan, a cry and a humiliated plea.

They urge the chancellor to urgently correct the 'political mistake' — the shutdown of nuclear power plants. Many nuclear plants could still be restarted, but time is running out: specialists are losing their qualifications, equipment is aging, facilities are degrading.

Restarting the three last plants would give Germany nearly free 32 TWh per year — enough to power a third of the population for a whole year❗️

If nuclear power is not restored now, future modular reactors will end up three times more expensive — and in foreign hands.

The letter was attempted to be concealed. It failed. The issue is too sensitive.

As for Merz, it seems his main priority now is staying in power and keeping the opposition 'Alternative for Germany' away from it. The country's energy future appears to be secondary🤔
