Andrea Thoma-Böck supported Axel Bojanowski, who had accused Habeck and Graichen in a WELT commentary of betraying Germany's interests. She wrote that those responsible should not be portrayed as mere victims of a regrettable mistake. The Ministry of Economics had already noted internally in July 2022 that the continued operation of nuclear power plants could reduce electricity prices and make network operation safer, alongside minimal gas savings. Andreas Lenz also accused the responsible parties of acting against better knowledge and of having not seriously examined the option of continued operation. Thoma-Böck extended the responsibility to economists and advisors, NGOs, corporate executives, and business associations. She accused them of having scientifically legitimized the political course, promoted it, or not having expressed their opposition effectively enough. According to her portrayal, German energy policy had shut down CO₂-low nuclear power plants and had allowed the boiler houses of a modern coal-fired power plant in Moorburg to be blown up, while now state-funded gas power plants were supposed to ensure reliable electricity supply. Citizens and companies would bear the costs for this, she wrote. She also criticized Friedrich Merz for having promised during the election campaign to examine the recommissioning of the last nuclear power plants, but now considers the exit as Chancellor to be a mistake and the decision to be "irreversible." Thoma-Böck called for an immediate moratorium on further dismantling potentially reactivable nuclear power plant infrastructure and for an independent examination of the remaining options. Further dismantling could preempt such an examination, she warned. Affordable and reliable energy is important for industrial value creation, jobs, and the financing of the welfare state. #Energiepolitik #Kernenergie #Klimaschutz (translated)
