Quick Glance: German Exit from Nuclear Energy: Ideology Over Pragmatism
- During an energy crisis, green ministries in Germany pushed through the nuclear energy phaseout, disregarding warnings and prioritizing ideological goals over energy security.
- Internal communications reveal that high-ranking green officials ignored and twisted facts to advance the nuclear phaseout, even if it raised safety concerns.
- The origins of the energy transition were not primarily focused on climate change but aimed to eliminate nuclear energy and transition to renewables and coal.
- The decommissioned nuclear power plants now serve as monuments to a green misstep that led Germany into an energy policy tragedy, potentially hindering the construction of new nuclear power plants.

South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.
bbc.com/news/articles/cd18rkxx64no
Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections
- An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.
- While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.
- The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.
- The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
