The Swiss Federal Council is contemplating lifting the ban on new nuclear power plants, citing concerns over the pace of renewable energy expansion. Energy Minister Albert Rösti emphasizes the need to keep nuclear options available. Experts like Annalisa Manera from ETH Zurich express cautious optimism about the feasibility of building new reactors quickly, while others, such as Alexander Wimmers from TU Berlin, highlight significant delays in European projects. Issues related to safety, economic viability, and waste management remain contentious as Switzerland navigates its energy transition.
