Habeck's ministry ignored internal criticism of the nuclear phase-out

The latest revelations in connection with the nuclear phase-out have led to controversial reactions from experts. There is criticism of Robert Habeck's ministry, which allegedly did not adequately take internal criticism of the exit plan into account. Economist Veronika Grimm described the lack of specialist expertise in the ministry as “very worrying” and called for broader involvement of various sources in decisions.

Experts such as André Thess and Marco Wünsch also commented on the revelations. Thess emphasized that the nuclear phase-out had a negative impact on the German electricity supply and advocated continued operation of the nuclear power plants. Wünsch noted that an extension of the nuclear power plants would have led to lower electricity prices, although the effect may have been limited due to other influencing factors.

Contrary to the criticism, Robert Habeck defended his ministry and emphasized that all options had been seriously examined. He noted that discussions were conducted in an open-ended manner and emphasized that information was continually reviewed in light of changing circumstances. The debate about the nuclear phase-out remains controversial and polarizes the public.
