BERLIN, May 7 (Bernama-QNA) -- The German Bundestag rejected on Thursday returning to nuclear energy as an alternative to overcome fuel-related crises, most notably the crisis stemming from the war with Iran and tensions in the West Asia, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
The Committee on Economic Affairs and Energy in the German parliament said that the proposal to return to peaceful nuclear reactors had been submitted as part of a parliamentary motion by the Alternative for Germany bloc.
The committee said in a statement that the proposal was officially rejected after other parliamentary blocs voted against it.
The Alternative for Germany bloc had called on the government through the motion to immediately reverse the decision to phase out nuclear energy, halt the dismantling of Germany nuclear power plants and make every possible effort to restart the last three nuclear units that were shut down in Germany.
The proposal also called for examining the economic and technical conditions required to rebuild nuclear plants that have long been out of operation.
