Germany's largest opposition parties, the CDU and CSU, are changing their position on nuclear energy, suggesting a potential revival of the country's nuclear power sector.

In an upcoming position paper on energy policy, the parties will propose exploring the possibility of reactivating the last remaining nuclear power plants that were previously shut down, moving away from the previous phase-out initiated under Angela Merkel's administration.

This strategic shift aims to position the CDU/CSU as supporters of nuclear energy ahead of the upcoming federal elections. It is important to note that the parties are not advocating for the construction of new reactors, but rather considering the option of reconnecting existing facilities to the grid.

This development could have significant implications for Germany's energy landscape and its approach to energy security and sustainability.
