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.

    If someone attacks Germany’s nuclear power plants the world as we know it won’t exist because nuclear weapons will launch ravaging most of the world.

    Also you don’t need to attack every single solar panel, just the power distribution centers

      As you can see in Ukraine, there is still absolutely potential for non nuclear weapon based war in Europe.

        Arguably that makes nuclear plants safer, because attacking nations won’t want to bomb them and risk escalating to a nuclear war. They have no problem bombing power stations and oil refineries, though.
