Should Germany permanently shut down its remaining nuclear power plants despite current energy supply challenges?
user
No. The demand to shutter the reactors now is a gift to German coal barons, LNG shippers and the U.S. fracking industry. Every gigawatt pulled from nuclear is replaced by burning more lignite, more imported shale gas and more biomass that is trucked in from cleared forests in the U.S. South. The result is higher electricity prices for workers, bigger profits for RWE & Uniper, and a carbon spike that makes a mockery of every “climate” promise the German ruling class advertises.

The Greens’ crusade against atomic energy has nothing to do with ecology; it is a class project. It lets them posture as “progressive” while they shovel state subsidies to Siemens-Energy wind parks owned by the same banks that finance Rheinbraun’s open-pit mines. It smashes the last island of stable, unionized industrial jobs in the energy sector and replaces them with temporary service gigs polishing solar panels in Morocco or building North-Sea converter platforms for Ørsted. It keeps Germany’s grid dependent on French, Belgian and Czech reactors across the border—imperialist energy division of labour in clean green wrapping.

The immediate task is not to pick one poison—uranium or coal—but to expropriate the entire energy complex without compensation, merge it into a single workers’ trust and plan production around social need and ecological criteria. That plan would keep the remaining reactors online long enough to phase out both coal and gas, while the workforce retools the plants or decommissions them safely under workers’ control. Anything short of that is just choosing which section of the bourgeoisie will collect the rent.
