So the SVP is following its step-by-step plan for a new nuclear power plant while Leibstadt (photo), the last nuclear power plant, is shut down.

Meanwhile, phasing out nuclear power is hardly getting anywhere. Only the Mühleberg nuclear power plant went out of business.

Part of the SVP plan: Ask for longer periods – although these are not limited in time. Existing nuclear power plants such as Gösgen can operate as long as they are safe.

First Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Albert Rusti (53 years old) wants to cancel the referendum on May 27, 2017. This made it impossible to build new nuclear power plants. The former head of the SVP takes the next step in the People’s Party’s plan to build a new nuclear power plant. Bernays demanded the abolition of the ban on the construction of new nuclear power plants, he assured “Tages-Anzeiger”.

Fellow and Vice President Magdalena Martolo Blocher (51) gave the starting shot of Operation Atom in an interview with Blick last Thursday. The daughter of party leader Christoph Blücher (80) said that in the long run, “nuclear energy should be thought again”.

The alarm bells remained silent

With this statement, the hair appeared on the back of the neck of all opponents of the nuclear power plant. But alarm bells should ring: Someone like Martullo-Blocher doesn’t make such a statement out of his or her hollow stomach. Here’s Entire De Papy.

This means that the battle plan has been behind the scenes for a long time. Martullo’s interview was only the first trick – and the second immediately followed by Rösti.

with instead of against eco

But it is not easy to cancel a referendum against the will of environmentalists. So I tried them. After all, all that carbon dioxide is a thorn in the side of the ecological group المجموعة₂ release.

Martullo and Rösti no longer demonize renewable energy production like the Senior Vice President used to do. “Hydropower, biogas systems, high-alpine solar systems, water storage plants” – Rösti talks about all this, says “Tages-Anzeiger”. After all, more electricity is needed so that electric cars can replace gasoline and diesel cars and heat pumps can replace oil and gas-powered heating systems.

Attention: gas power plants!

But this will not be enough, warns Martolo Blücher. If one day the remaining nuclear power plants stop and the addition of solar, wind and water is not enough, there is a risk of a power shortage. It becomes tight, especially in the winter months.

Then gas power plants will be needed, according to SVP – and that’s where they want to grab the greens. Because gas power plants will produce carbon dioxide again₂ Expelled, so a horror scenario. Wouldn’t environmentalists prefer a new nuclear power plant? That would be roughly carbon dioxide₂-neutral. with new technology. Safer and smaller.

The federal government should fix it

But nuclear power plants are expensive. It would be too risky for major energy suppliers to finance one of them, politicians pointed out after interviewing Martolo.

In fact, only one country can finance the construction of a new nuclear power plant. The fact that the country ultimately bears the financial risks of a new nuclear power plant is likely to be a difficult task in Switzerland. But maybe not entirely impossible. After all, the federal government wants to save the climate. A good argument in favor of the Atom process.
