Brussels opens EU budget to nuclear. Berlin says "nein"

The European Commission wants to allow EU countries to fund nuclear energy under its massive €2 trillion budget plan for 2028–2034. The proposal includes a clause enabling states to use part of their national allocations to invest in “new or additional nuclear fission capacity.”
Roughly €865 billion would be available for national projects. For pro-nuclear countries like France and Sweden, it’s a major breakthrough. For long-time opponents like Germany and Austria, it’s a red line.
Germany reacted immediately. “We reject any subsidization of nuclear energy from the EU budget,” said Environment Minister Carsten Schneider, arguing that German taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for what he called an “expensive path.”
Earlier this year, Germany signaled it might soften its stance on nuclear’s role in EU policy, but this hasn’t translated into support for EU-level financing. The Commission’s move reignites old divisions and sets the stage for fierce battles as member states negotiate the final shape of the next budget.
