Merz is right to reject Germany’s nuclear phase-out, IEA chief says
Germany should build as many nuclear plants as possible, Fatih Birol proclaims.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s admission that Germany’s nuclear phase-out was a “serious strategic mistake” has won an emphatic endorsement from Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency. In an interview with Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is part, Birol said he was “very pleased” to hear Merz’s words. To him, the chancellor's self-critique is a signal that German energy policy may be heading in “a safer and more sensible direction.”
