Once again, a current crisis is being used as an excuse for stupid remarks:
Söder called for consequences from the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Possibly, the Russian gas company Gazprom will one day also blackmail Germany.
I mean - everyone has now realized that there is not even any intention of blackmailing Europe. Not even the action against Ukraine is - from a capitalist perspective - unusual, after all Gazprom is only demanding the world market price for gas from Ukraine. Shouldn't the Union politicians now quickly perk up and applaud? But when they are on the receiving end of capitalism, they scream and squeal like stuck pigs.
Instead of drawing sensible conclusions and, for example, strengthening renewable and locally producible energy sources, they are calling for nuclear power. But what would that cause? A stronger bondage and blackmailability of German society by the people who already repeatedly attract attention through blackmail: the energy companies. Who make a fortune at the expense of society, but still increase prices. Who pocket millions from the state for the construction of their facilities, but then complain that everything is so expensive and therefore the citizen should pay again. But of course, jobs must be cut at the same time, because one wants to make record profits again next year.
In addition, it makes us more dependent on foreign sources for the fuel rods and the reprocessing and disposal - and creates massive problems through the still unsolved problem of final storage (and no, selling the problem to others will not bring us anything in the long run).
Regardless of the consequences for the environment and health - the decision for nuclear power is purely economically a complete nonsense. Apart from the fact that you can operate gas heating systems very poorly with electricity, the whole fuss in the context of gas deliveries from Russia should only be considered as stupid populist propaganda.
