If the Germans have their way, our nuclear power plants will continue to run…
A clear majority of 64 percent of those surveyed are in favor of the federal government working to allow the last three nuclear power plants in Germany to run longer than before. This is the result of a representative INSA survey for BILD.
The opposite of what Greens parliamentary group leader Britta Haßelmann (60) claimed on Twitter on Monday: “There is a broad social consensus on the decision to exit.”
Even the blockade attitude of their own voters is crumbling: 40 percent of voters in the Green Party, which was once founded by the anti-nuclear movement, want the three remaining reactors to continue producing electricity.︎ Only 53 percent are against it – the same Image among Left Party voters.
︎ All other groups of voters are in favor of extending the term with a clear majority (70-84 percent).
The absolute majority of 55 percent would be more in favor of the remaining three nuclear power plants being allowed to operate longer if a speed limit were introduced on German autobahns. About a third (34 percent) of respondents disagree. Twelve percent don’t know or don’t want to give any information.
︎ Voters on the left (54 percent) are absolutely against this package of measures and voters on the Greens are almost against it (48 percent; 45 percent in favour).
︎ An absolute majority of all other groups of voters would welcome such a package of measures (56-66 percent).
For the poll, 1004 participants emerged. On the other hand, about a quarter (26 percent) of those surveyed. Eleven percent don’t know or don’t want to give any information.
44 percent of Germans would demonstrate against expensive shock
Germans are divided on the question of whether they would take to the streets because of rising energy prices.
While half (50 percent) of respondents would not take part in a demonstration against high energy prices, 44 percent of respondents would take part in such a demonstration. 22 percent would definitely participate and 21 percent probably.
Voters of the FDP (50 percent), the left (60 percent) and the AfD (72 percent) would each take part in a demonstration against the high energy prices with an absolute majority. The majority of the other three voter groups would not take part in such a demonstration (49-69 percent).
