Leif-Erik Holm, September 6, 2022, Energy Crisis

AfD Kompakt, September 6, 2022.

The Ampel’s decision to no longer allow the remaining nuclear power plants to run but to use only as reserve power plants is a bad joke. Thereby will be contributed purely nothing for a solution of the energy crisis. The Federal government ignores not only the economic necessity of nuclear power but the great majority of the people’s desire to longer allow the power plants on the network. Apparently the opinion in his party is more important to Minister Habeck than that of the citizens. Unfortunately once again the ideology triumphs over reason. The Ampel thereby further contributes to that the prices for electricity and for gas still continue to explode.

A rapid and permanent relief in regards the electricity prices is only possible with nuclear energy. Therefore, not only must the running times of the nuclear power plants [KKW] still in operation be extended by at least five years but also the three KKW removed from the network at the end of last year are to be reactivated. Numerous experts in an open letter to the government have lately clearly stated that a continued operation would be possible without further ado.

The citizens and the economic basis of Germany urgently require a secure and affordable energy supply. Nuclear energy delivers precisely this, and what is more is environmental friendly. A withdrawal from the atomic withdrawal is therefore long since overdue. Germany needs to finally give up its fatal energy policy Sonderweg adopted under red-green and Chancellor Merkel. It is time for the re-entry.

AfD Kompakt, September 5, 2022.

Germany may deliver no combat tanks to the Ukraine. The delivery of these offensive weapons would draw Germany still deeper into the war. The economic war would also thereby be intensified. Chancellor Scholz needs finally muster the courage to commit himself for de-escalation and a peaceful solution. For that, he urgently needs to chain up his krieg-crazy Foreign Minister.

Alice Weidel, August 31, 2022, Nuclear Energy

AfD Kompakt, August 31, 2022.

Hopefully, it is not a newspaper hoax: The Economy Ministry shall work up a statute which foresees the continued operation of the three remaining nuclear power plants. A long overdue step – and even in the right direction, which however does not go far enough. For the citizens and the economy rightly expect from the Federal government that it provide for a favorable and secure energy – and to be sure on occasions when no wind blows and the sun does not shine.

The Federal government must stop the gas assessment, undertake Nord Stream 2, withdraw the sanctions against Russia and set up a secure supply by means of employment of diverse technologies as well as a multi-faceted energy mix.  

The AfD demands the re-organization of nuclear research centers and a comprehensive participation in international nuclear research projects. The AfD is for the installation of new, secure nuclear power plants so as to avoid an energy shortage for industrial Germany and its citizens. Beyond that, the AfD demands of the Federal government to join the “Generation IV International Forum (GIF)” to move forward the construction of a demonstration reactor with a liquid fuel technology (molten salt reactor, MSR) so as to create the opportunity to test the use of thorium under real conditions in sustained operation.
