1 Sylvia Kotting-Uhl Spokeswoman on nuclear policy for the Alliance 90/The Greens in the Bundestag How to create a nuclear-free society Japan, November 17 th 23 th 2011 Visit after Fukushima we have to face nuclear phase-out 1

2 Germany s nuclear phase-out plan International Denuclearization Fewer npps worldwide Swiss phase-out 2034 Italy votes against npps 2

3 How to become a nuclear-free society? I. Forces for a change: anti-nuclear movement II. III. Post-nuclear energy policy A vision for a nuclear-free society Germany s Green Party 3

4 Greens win the state election Baden-Württemberg Election campaigns: Nuclear power? no thank you! Election 18th march 2011: voters migration Germany s Green Party 2011 First Green state governor 2009 Record result in national elections: 10,7% Red-Green coalition government on the federal level 1990 Greens voted out after German reunification 1985 First Greens in state government 1983 Greens elected to national parliament with 5,6% of the vote 1980 Green party founded 4

5 Mass demonstrations against nuclear power Germany 2010: Protesters blocking nuclear transports 5

6 Consumer campaigns: Leave nuclear power behind, choose green power! Citizen power instead of company profits Profits in million 4 companies devide the market 6
