How Germany seeks to cut electricity costs – DW – 01/07/2025 Electricity is more expensive in Germany than anywhere else in Europe. This burdens consumers, especially the sluggish economy. Politicians are looking for solutions. What options do they have?

But why push for German nuclear plant restarts?

After two decades of Germany’s energy transition & nuclear phaseout, electricity prices and CO2 emissions are far too high.

It was great going to the @standupfornuclear.org protest in Belgium, but depressing that there's so many of them for closures of nuclear power plants. Unbelievable that gas is getting this handout in 2025!!

We and our friends from across Europe will join our Belgian allies at Doel tomorrow morning to mourn this loss and demand stakeholders,

1. Halt all decommissioning efforts
2. Restart reactors
3. Abolish the nuclear phaseout law

See you tomorrow.

Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like shutting down clean energy and cuddling up with more fossil fuels ❤️‍🔥

Good news for climate: Friends of the Earth has dropped its suit against the federal government for providing funds to keep the 2 gigawatt Diablo Canyon nuclear plant in Cali. operating through 2030. The plant supplies 8% of CA's electricity without emissions. www.eenews.net/articles/env...

In exactly one month from now, Belgium will again execute a #climate #crime!

#Doel1 NPP will be permanently and prematurely shut-down, due to a stupid law voted back in 2003!

Nuclear in Belgium ⚛️ is the backbone of its clean energy infrastructure, generating 40% of its electricity (down from 50% in 2021), 60% of its clean electricity (down from 75% in 2021), & employing 2,000 high-paying jobs

Join us as we continue to put pressure on and fight for these reactors.

It is evident that "SHUTTING DOWN NUCLEAR PLANTS HURTS PEOPLE & OUR ENVIRONMENT"

Belgium must take steps to reverse its nuclear phaseout or next year, it will lose three reactors - 1.6 GWs of clean, reliable power.

Make your voices heard.

Nuclear phase-out increases CO2 emissions from electricity generation The transition from low emission nuclear towards gas-fired power plants is increasing the footprint of each KWh of energy produced.

Remember that after Doel 3 closed in Sept 2022 & Tihange 2 closed in Jan 2023, losing 2GWs of clean power, Belgium saw CO2 emissions from electricity rise by 13%!

"Emissions rose from 146 to 168 grams of CO2 per kWh compared to the same period in 2022"
