The SP clearly opposes the Federal Council's decision to build new nuclear power plants. It calls it an "irresponsible step backwards" that blocks the expansion of renewable energies.
Energy Minister Albert Rösti wants to overturn the ban on nuclear power plants with his counter-proposal to the blackout initiative, according to a press release from the SP Switzerland. This is despite the fact that the Swiss electorate has repeatedly spoken out in favor of a future-oriented and sustainable energy policy.
New nuclear power plants would come too late, be extremely expensive, pose a major safety risk, leave behind radioactive waste and make Switzerland dependent on foreign countries. Instead, the SP is committed to a renewable, climate-neutral energy system, the party emphasized.
