SIGN OUR PETITION :
Improve the Energiewende! Let clean nuclear, hydro, wind and solar work in unity towards 100% clean!
We are sick and tired of the self-defeating bickering within the Climate Movement! By opposing other types of clean energy, we are shooting ourselves in the foot and allowing fossil fuels to thrive at the expensive of our climate and our environment! This is irresponsible and irrational, when our mutual goal is reducing carbon. The Climate Coalition has launched a petition to Bärbel Bas and the Bundestag on openPetition.eu demanding climate rationality rather than knee-jerk antinuclear divisiveness. Please join us in signing and sharing this petition, which says:

I produce a local radio show that focuses on energy news and space exploration. I look at electricitymap.org every week and report on who is doing clean, electricity and dirty electricity. Germany has never been cleaner than France, Ontario, Sweden or many other clean electricity countries. German Klineman activists talk a good game, but they also campaign against nuclear power. This does not make any sense. The data is self evident. Germany needs nuclear power in the mix of electricity generation, and we now know that we can’t depend on Russian gas supplies. Germany needs to save the existing plant operation and re-open closed reactors where possible. Germany also needs to start building nuclear power plants.
It is crucial to opposing Germanies EnergieWend, since it is one of crucial German policies on which the anti-movement rest. People might not realize, but well meaning but anti-nuclear German non-profits organizations, like the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (NYC) underwrite big grants to; students from City College/ NYS College; anti nuclear researchers / scholars as well several NY none-profit organizations
The OpenPetition team temporarily suspended the petition seeking references for all of the petition’s major claims. These were added and a few modest improvements were made as well to the language of the petition, which now does NOT seek to “suspend” the Energiewende, it seeks to “improve” the Energiewende, by allowing nuclear to work in tandem with wind and solar. If you agree, please sign and share the petition. We plan to deliver this before the last German plants are shut down.
Climate Coalition was founded in 2016 to broaden the coalition of activists working to solve our climate crisis. We saw that divisions existed between those who support wind and solar and those who support nuclear power—though they agree on the urgent need to end CO2 emissions. We recognized that this division within the climate movement—more than anything else—is propping up fossil fuels. As soon as we ally together, fossil fuels will have no place in our future.
