Kommentar: Ohne Kohle und Atom sitzt Deutschland in der Sackgasse
Dogmatismus ersetzt keine Energiepolitik. Die Schwächen der Weichenstellungen vergangener Jahre treten offen zutage. Das darf nicht ohne Konsequenzen bleiben.
Recent comments suggest that even those sympathetic to the Green party may have been better off keeping the three remaining nuclear power plants running longer. It's also possible that declaring a coal exit by 2030 was a mistake, despite the law only setting 2038 as the final year for coal. The rapid shutdown of nuclear power during a severe energy supply crisis and the swift phase-out of coal have proven to be burdensome for the entire economy.
Slower exits from these sources would have been prudent in hindsight. "Less momentum in the exits would have been sensible in retrospect."
