Greta Goes Nuclear, Breaks Rank With Greens

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has broken ranks with the German Green Party on the subject of atomic energy and urged the government not to abandon the technology.

“I personally think it’s a bad idea,” she told a German talk show ahead of its broadcast on Wednesday. “If they are already running, I think it would be a mistake to shut them down in favor of coal.”

The Greens’ Robert Habeck, the government’s vice-chancellor and long the country’s most popular politician, has had to sustain criticism over his energy policy. He wants to fully decommission one nuclear power plant and keep the other two dormant, but on standby next year.

Finance Minister Christian Lindner, from the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), immediately seized on Thunberg’s comments as an opportunity to outmaneuver cabinet colleague Habeck, using arguments provided by the latter’s own climate change movement. He has repeatedly called for keeping all three plants online.
