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.

    there is no safe amount of exposure to radiation,

    Here’s how I know you’re a lying piece of shit.

    There is literally a massive, unshielded nuclear reactor in the sky every single day.

    We ARE nuclear waste.

      No need for name calling. I am an engineer specialized in radiation protection. Hell i actively work at nuclear sites on a daily basis. why would i lie? the underlying principle of the ‘acceptable risk’ i am talking about is called ‘alara’ - as low as reasonably achievable.

      on another note: i am convinced that Staying uneducated and even actively manipulating those who dont know better is ridiculously destructive to our society. Please don’t do that.

        So as an engineer myself, airplanes are vastly more dangerous than nuclear power.

        Cars even more so.

        The issue is regulation, but the US has never had a nuclear accident that caused deaths in our history, and neither has France which is basically running half of Europe off its nuclear plants.

        This is fear-mongering, plain and simple.

        Russia obviously has killed many people, but they killed millions of people from not having food, they don’t consider death a risk, it’s just part of life.

        The rest of the world? Engineers are easily capable of making the craziest things safe, again, see air-travel which has more risks by orders of magnitude.

        Early planes crashed all the time, and early reactor designs were very dangerous.

        That’s why us engineers are so absolutely awesome, we don’t stop making things better.

      Unshielded if you ignore around 149.000.000 km distance. And it’s still the largest cause of skin cancer which is one of the most widespread ones.

      You stupid fuck should think for a second before you spout bullshit in such a vile and disrespectful manner.

      I’m down for being critical on the internet but you should go back straight to Reddit as that is the cesspool that this type of behaviour deserves.

        The sun pumps more radiation to you then any nuclear reactor will for anyone except the guys who fucked with the demon core.

        And by your own argument, the sun kills thousands every year.

        How many have died from nuclear reactors? Not counting the russians/soviets of course, who shouldn’t be allowed to play with the rounded scissors we got in preschool.

        They are far, FAR safer than coal, which killed thousands a year, I was in China during the bad times, it was horrific.

        You’re like an evangelical who believes a thing based on no proof.

          Lol you contradicted yourself. First you implied that the sun is proof that there is a safe level of radiation and then you agree that the sun kills people. 🤡

            It also gives us vitamin-d.

            But hey, since nuclear is so bad, I guess you can never go to the beach, or outside, ever, because all radiation is evil.
