I don’t understand the “no space” argument.

It’s not about the space it takes to store the waste. It needs to be stored safely for one million years for the radiation levels to be safe again. This timeframe is also required by law. It is very unlikely, that we will ever finds such place in Germany.
Using another countrys storage will most likely come at an even higher price, because they want to make a profit on it on top.

Just buy a 1km x 1km farm plot in Bayern at one of the known stable rock locations and dig down.

See argument above. And: I live in Bavaria. And no thanks, even if it would be possible to store it here, we don’t want it. I guess no one wants a nuclear waste facility anywhere near his home and I fully understand it. That’s another kinda unsolvable problem.

Germany is already dependent on importing energy sources.

Yeah, but just because things are going that way right now doesn’t mean they always have to. Quite the contrary. The Russian war clearly showed us that dependencies like these should be completely reduced as fast as possible. Why be dependent on someone, if you don’t have to.

Even solar which I support requires imports. Wind less so but even then our wind turbines are only partially domestic.

Yes, some raw materials and some parts I would guess. This is the same with nuclear. But the difference starts by operating them. We don’t need a “fuel” for solar panals or wind turbines to work.

You’re right about climate change. But for Germany, nuclear power is not the awnser.

• We don’t have a safe, final place to store the waste.
• We would again be dependend on other countrys, to import uranium.
• All nuclear power plants are offline and would take a lot of money to modernise / reopen them. To have a significant impact over all we would also need to build more. All of this will easily take more than 10 years.

For us, it is way more cost efficient, faster and safer to invest in solar, wind and battery’s.

Yeah… No. He had so many chances. Copying the AfD was a strategic decision by the current leadership of the CDU/CSU and they will not revise it, even if it is the last thing they will do in their careers. I wish it would be different. But it isn’t.
