Summary/Abstract: Poland and Germany have different views about nuclear energy. In Poland, it is meant to be the key to decarbonisation. Germany, though, has been phasing out nuclear energy and transitioning to other sources. German politicians also encourage other countries to abandon nuclear, reflecting German society’s anti-nuclear sentiments and the country’s economic interests. The Bundestag elections will not change this view, but the growing power of the Greens might intensify this course.
