Summary
A new Innofact poll shows 55% of Germans support returning to nuclear power, a divisive issue influencing coalition talks between the CDU/CSU and SPD.
While 36% oppose the shift, support is strongest among men and in southern and eastern Germany.
About 22% favor restarting recently closed reactors; 32% support building new ones.
Despite nuclear support, 57% still back investment in renewables. The CDU/CSU is exploring feasibility, but the SPD and Greens remain firmly against reversing the nuclear phase-out, citing stability and past policy shifts.
numbers prove that around the plants the number of kids with cancer did indeed exceed all expections.
Do you have a source on this? Not to be contrarian, I’ve just never heard this to be the case.
Not sure how much I’ll get out of this, being that it’s in German, but I appreciate the follow up!
Edit: It gets worse. 60% solid cancers, 120% increase in leukemias among children living within 5 km of nuclear power stations. I’m actually really surprised 😬
