“We cannot wait any longer to take a decision (on the lifetime extension of nuclear power plants). We already have all the data and analyses we need and now it all depends on concrete actions (from the federal government). I am not a nuclear advocate. Nuclear technology is only a bridge technology, but postponing the decision makes things too uncertain.” Markus Söder, Minister for Environment and Health, Land of Bavaria, Germany on 2 January
“The European power supply must incorporate all energy sources including coal and gas, renewables, and nuclear energy to meet goals of environment protection and security of supply.”
