n g each year was signed. but in the short term, analysts say ministers will have to adapt their green agenda. they will do more of what they have done already. foster additional energy supplies make sure they can come in also through germany on g terminals and a huge step forward will be to reduce demand further, a lot needs to be done in household still, because building's needs beneath insulated heating systems need to be changed to can't do all of this in 2023, but it needs to start now. the other metaphorical elephant in the room is nuclear. 3 reactors, which would you to go off stream permanently, have been temporarily camped in operation. this provides around 6 percent of the energy germany uses annually, but that's as far as the green party in government is prepared to go on to nuclear sentiment. it's so entrenched in germany, in large parts of the population that it's going to be relatively hard to,

to really, especially for the greens, if they want to keep their credibility to, to go on to, to prolong nuclear power indefinitely. maybe for a few more months, maybe for a year. but i don't think in the long run in germany, nuclear power will have any future. but that sort of view is not shared by many in the german parliament who believe nuclear energy has a clear role to play. and for some time yet, mid enemy stick with the dead just by extending the life of the remaining 3 nuclear power plants, the ultimately cheap ball to missile. instead, we need to continue to operation until at least the end of 2024. that is what we are proposing now, and we need a new feel for them. and to contemplate, such a move is painful for many in the current governments. most of them have spent their entire adult lives campaigning against fossil fuels and nuclear power. and yet, this is where decades of deepening dependence on russian energy has brought them. environmentalism may provide fire in their bellies,
