+The recent news from Belgium has given some German politicians and activists additional cause for concern. Hubert Weiger, the head of the BUND, said that the Brussels attacks became another reason for immediate nuclear phase-out. “It is even more necessary than ever to abandon this technology,” he said, as quoted by DPA. Eight nuclear plants remain operational in Germany, after Angela Merkel’s government decided to abandon the use of nuclear energy and immediately halt all operations on the country’s eight oldest nuclear plants in March 2011. Another plant was shut down in 2015. The remaining nuclear stations are due to be closed by 2022. At the same time, Simone Peter, a co-chair of the German Green Party, demanded additional security checks at all European nuclear plants. |

+Give aff role of the ballot choice – otherwise it shifts the question of the debate from substantive issues to a diversionary question that’s always available. We should just debate under different roles of the ballot when we affirm as long as they’re structurally reciprocal –we get the benefit of their preferred framework when they affirm. Turns arguments about how their form of debate is better since it forces it to happen, otherwise people go for procedurals and never engage while skewing the AC time. |
