Under the old CDU government(s) 10 years ago, we decided to pivot away from nuclear. The plan then was to substitute with coal, then gas and long-term transition to wind. Gas was cut short in this equation and federal government is doing what they can to force renewables, but that is fairly hard to do over 4 years. Reintroducing nuclear short term is - pardon my french - horseshit. By the time the reactors would be planned and laws were (re)written accordingly we could already be CO2 neutral (or as close as we will get). Instead Europe should work together imo and reinforce the grid - spanish sun with scandinavian hydro, offshores in the Nord- and Ostsee as well as geothermal heating and we can stem this. Let there be a calm and dark day, it will not cover all of Europe. And seeing how many people now rant about especially the green party either being too slow or too fast on climate issues I have a stark fear that next term we will have Merz - a far-right conservative and in my humble opinion a damned populist.
