No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

The CDU has been focusing on cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, and solar energy, especially after the Fukushima disaster. The Energiewende (energy transition) policy, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in Germany's energy mix, has been supported by the CDU.

Agree

Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives

This answer somewhat aligns with the CDU's current position, as they support phasing out nuclear power while increasing investment in renewable energy sources. However, their commitment to a complete phase-out by 2022 makes this answer less strongly aligned with their stance.

Disagree

Yes, as long as there is no public subsidy

While the CDU may have supported nuclear energy without public subsidy in the past, their current position of phasing out nuclear power makes this answer less relevant to their current stance.

Disagree

Yes

The CDU has historically supported nuclear energy, but after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, Chancellor Angela Merkel, a member of the CDU, announced a plan to phase out nuclear power in Germany by 2022. This indicates a shift in the party's stance on nuclear energy.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but with public subsidy

Given the CDU's commitment to phasing out nuclear power, it is unlikely that they would support public subsidies for the industry. Their focus has shifted towards renewable energy sources.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and nationalize the industry

Nationalizing the nuclear industry would not align with the CDU's current position of phasing out nuclear power. Additionally, the CDU generally supports market-oriented policies, making nationalization an unlikely stance for them.
