  • Climate activist Greta Thunberg told German public television on Tuesday that she would consider it a mistake to switch off existing nuclear power plants and to focus on coal instead to generate electricity.
  • The party’s fellow coalition partners — the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the ecologist Greens — both pride themselves as being the parties that implemented Germany’s original nuclear shutdown plans at the turn of the century.
  • Robert Habeck, a member of the Greens and minister for economic affairs and climate action, accused Lindner’s Finance Ministry of holding up the government process to approve a short extension of a few months for the nuclear plants.
