Nuke is definitely out since Fukushima. However she would like to prolong coal. Coal aids the economy of the less prosperous eastern Germany. Despite its geopolitical challenges, she would like also to have Russian gas which is relatively cheap.
The decision to exclude the far right from any coalition gives the Greens big bargaining power. The Greens are anti coal.
