German Politicians Affirm Rejection of Nuclear Power in EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy

Germany's environmental minister from the Social Democrats (SPD), Svenja Schulze, has affirmed that the country will work towards excluding nuclear power from the EU taxonomy for sustainable investments.  She says that they don’t want nuclear energy, don’t think it’s sustainable, and don’t want the EU to support it.  The German government is countering an initiative of other EU member states led by France to include nuclear power in the EU’s plans to become climate neutral through sustainable investments.  Markus Söder, Conservative (CSU) Bavarian state premier, supports Schulze’s opposition to making nuclear power a tool for climate change in the EU.
