German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 19/233, p.
30051.
Today it is about many changes to the atomic energy law; for
one, about executive reservation in regards decisions to approve; further, about
the size of statutory indemnifications based on the withdrawal squabbling
contrived by the second Merkel government; and lastly, about the question of
whether legal exports of nuclear fuels from Germany to friendly foreign
countries present a danger to our security.
According to order: The seventeenth law for altering the
atomic energy law introduces an executive reservation in legal processes which
thereby leads to that the executive partially overtakes judicial duties – thus,
an interference in the state’s separation of powers. According to the AfD
delegation’s interpretation, that is a serious interference in the separation
of powers. It was thence logical to demand a specific vote for that, in which
each member justifies his decision before the citizens. The AfD delegation does
not at all trivialize that decision. But – and this should possibly pacify you –
the AfD delegation trusts our executive not to abuse this law and will vote in
favor of this bill.
We go one further, to the eighteenth law for altering the
atomic energy law, to the newly negotiated sum for the figuring of the legal
claims of nuclear power plant operators. We already had this with the sixteenth
law for altering the atomic energy law in 2018, thus three years ago. I then
had said here in this same place that you had regulated this in a slovenly
manner. And behold: The Federal Constitutional Court ruled for us and you need
to stay after class.
Nevertheless, one of the possibilities of regulating this is
unfortunately no longer available, namely – we said it at the time –
compensation by means of an increase in the quantities of remaining power for
the operator. For the power plants already shut down or soon to be shut down,
there remains no more time to compensate for the money by means of electricity
generation. Now the entirety needs to be settled from state means at the cost
of the taxpayer. But to you, as always, that is the same: As always, someone
else pays.
The equivalent besides threatens in regards coal power
plants. There, you have already agreed to a compensation contract. And now –
you concluded this today – you subsequently change the limit values for these
power plants with corresponding demands for investments by the operators. But
it is to be seen what they will say to that.
For last: For the AfD’s draft law. Our bill [Drucksache 19/27773] wants with a Nein to answer for all time the question
whether legal nuclear fuels from Germany in permitted power plants in friendly
foreign countries endanger the security of Germany. This, which is always
presented by the Greens and the Linke as a danger, today contributes to the
securing of Germany's electricity supply by means of French electricity from
nuclear power plants. Since each time wind and sun, your energy transition
champions, start stuttering, then the French nuclear power plants leap into the
breach to save Germany, and before all green Baden-Württemberg, from the
blackout. So appears the result of the “world’s dumbest energy policy”, to here
cite for once the “Wall Street Journal”.
The fact is – whether it suits you or not – : Nuclear energy
is being established around the world. Only nuclear power is in the position to
produce reliable, good value and, for all of those to whom it is important,
low-CO2 electricity. Only by this means is it possible to become fit
for the challenges resulting from a world population of eight billion and more people.
Only a reliable energy can continually produce synthetic fuels with Power-to-X.
Only energy of good value en masse can desalinate enough water so as to green
the wastelands for the overcoming of the challenges of a great world
population. In brief: Only nuclear power fulfills the United Nations’
sustainability goal number 7 of a good value, reliable and clean energy.
The AfD therefore demands a re-entry into the research of
the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The lost ground in this area resulting
from many false political decisions must again be overhauled so that here
Germany does not lose the connection and so as to protect the living standards
of coming generations.
Your policy generates shortage, poverty and under-supply.
Our motions, on the other hand, stand for a future of prosperity and progress.
