Italy holds the Presidency of the G7 Group in 2024, and for this purpose all the meetings of the G7 Group are held in Italy, in addition to the recent meeting of the Foreign Ministers, there are also meetings of the Energy Ministers. According to foreign media reports, the G7 group issued a relevant joint statement, announcing that it recognized the environmental status of nuclear energy and publicly promised not to make any more remarks against nuclear energy. The G7 group finally reached an agreement through intense negotiations, thus providing the basis for promoting the development of nuclear energy, and from the consensus of the G7 group, Germany is put on the side, because Germany closed the last nuclear power plant in 2023, and now the Western G7 group is actively promoting the development of nuclear power.
Apparently Germany is being played by the United States, which has a close relationship with the United States and has long been pushing for so-called "denuclearization", which has finally led to the shutdown of all nuclear power plants in 2023. The German Greens have long promoted that nuclear energy is not environmentally friendly and has great dangers, and actively promoted the closure of nuclear power companies in Germany. Germany is a big manufacturing country, for a long time through the manufacturing industry to obtain rich benefits, Germany is the largest economy in Europe, the German manufacturing industry is quite developed, and led to the development of the EU economy, but also because of Germany's status, thus becoming the target of the United States suppression.
In fact, when the Green Party was promoting the denuclearization of Germany, the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis gave the United States a new opportunity, and the United States announced sanctions against Russia, including a ban on Russian oil and gas exports, and Germany bore the brunt of Western sanctions, because Germany imports a lot of natural gas from Russia. It can be seen from the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines that Germany simply cannot continue to obtain cheap energy from Russia, so that Germany's manufacturing industry is facing a serious crisis, and with the shutdown of nuclear power plants in Germany, Germany's electricity supply is even worse.
When the U.S. manufacturing industry was hollowing out, the U.S. did not allow Europe to extract benefits from the U.S. through manufacturing, and for this reason, it focused on suppressing Germany. At a time when there was no energy dividend in Germany, the competitiveness of the German manufacturing industry was rapidly declining. Now Germany has an embarrassing situation, Germany has shut down nuclear power plants, if you want to restart nuclear power plants, you must have new words to convince the German people, before saying that nuclear power plants are not environmentally friendly, and now they want to promote nuclear power plants are in line with the concept of environmental protection, when Germany abuses itself, as a neighbor of Germany, France has not given up nuclear power, in fact, the United Kingdom, which is also a member of the G7 group, is also promoting the construction of nuclear power plants.
The United States is the leader of the Western world, but the United States is not seeking benefits for the West as a whole, but to use the West to serve the United States itself, the European Union was originally able to play a game with the United States economically, but after the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, with the sluggish economic development of Germany, the European Union no longer has the strength to compete with the United States, and now the United States continues to "harvest" from Europe through a variety of channels Obviously, the United States has become the biggest winner of the conflict in the Ukraine crisis, and Germany has fallen into confusion, and the policy of nuclear power of the G7 group is a great irony for Germany.
