Imminent gas shortage: Baerbock: Nuclear power is not the answer

Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock currently sees no reason to extend the service life of the last three nuclear power plants in Germany. She thinks the final exit from nuclear power at the end of the year is correct based on “the facts that I know right now and in view of what our challenge is,” said the Green politician on Friday evening in the “Bild” format “The right questions ". And given the Russian war against Ukraine and the looming energy crisis, the challenge is not the supply of electricity, but of gas. "I don't see that nuclear power is the answer here."
