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.

    from ukraine war we all learned nuclear ia stupid.

    Isn’t that what prompted this - Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons, and then everyone needing an energy source that isn’t Putin?

    “would you like a powerplant and final storage near you”?

    Why would they put final storage near humans and not inside a mountain or something?
