Whether German nuclear power plants should continue operating beyond 2023 is currently the subject of heated debate. Greens are skeptical – their supporters are few.
According to a survey, a majority of Green voters are in favor of extending the life of Germany’s remaining nuclear power plants. In a representative survey conducted by opinion polling agency Insa for “Bild am Sonntag”, 54 percent were in favor of an extension to reduce dependence on Russian gas for energy supplies. 38 percent of Green voters were against continuing.
Among the general public, 70 percent are in favor of the extension, 20 percent are against, and 10 percent are undecided.
