Germany\u2019s online\u00a0Blackout News here reports<\/a>\u00a0how the country, now facing a dire energy supply situation, urgently needs to return to nuclear energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany phased out its entire fleet of nuclear reactors over the past years and hoped to rely on renewable energies, claiming they were cheaper and cleaner. However, the transition has not gone smoothly as grid revamping has not kept up and prices for wind and solar power have made German electricity among the most expensive worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has warned that \u201cGermany can no longer turn its back on nuclear power and that a reorientation of energy policy is necessary. The government must reopen the debate on nuclear power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCountries that have nuclear energy want more of it. And many that don\u2019t have any want it,\u201d  said Grossi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of his comments is no coincidence. Germany\u2019s economy is suffering from energy problems, while the government is consumed with internal disputes,\u201d comments Blackout News<\/a>. \u201cThe political focus has recently been on the disputes within the coalition government, while the electricity market has continued to show new weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackout News<\/a> describes how the prices of electricity \u201cexploded\u201d in early November during a period of calm winds and no sunshine. This forced Germany to fall back on gas and coal (energy sources that the government is currently working to phase out as well). \u201cFossil fuels supplied 71% of Germany\u2019s electricity at the beginning of November \u2013 a figure that has not been reached for over a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
