In search of a rationale: Is the return of nuclear power coming?
Are missing transmission lines being used as an alibi for extending the nuclear phase-out? Tarek Al-Wazir did it recently: he brought up the possibility of continuing to operate German nuclear power plants beyond the "final" phase-out date of 2022. Even if the Hessian Green Minister for Economic Affairs wants to officially blame "the CSU in Bavaria" for this possible return to operation, this makes it fundamentally clear that it is not only local politicians across party lines who are at least considering such a scenario.
