flag Bavarian leader Söder pushes Germany to revive nuclear energy with small reactors for energy security.

flag Bavarian Premier Markus Söder is urging Germany to reconsider its nuclear phase-out by adopting small modular reactors (SMRs), calling them safer, more efficient, and less reliant on subsidies than traditional nuclear plants. flag He argues SMRs could enhance energy security and competitiveness, especially as countries like Canada advance similar projects. flag Söder also advocates expanding domestic gas extraction and rare earth mining to reduce foreign dependence, warning against rigid policies favoring specific technologies like electric vehicles. flag His push reflects growing debate over balancing climate goals with economic stability, despite federal divisions and the absence of operational SMRs in Canada.
