Switzerland allows new nuclear power plants

101

Switzerland has a new decision. The parliament in Bern agrees. It lifts a ban on new nuclear power plants. In the past, builders could not make new ones.

Politicians voted on a plan. The plan is against the blackout initiative. A blackout is a long power cut. Politicians want to stop this power cut. They want enough power for everyone.

The law for nuclear energy changes now. Now companies can plan new power plants. The government says no to another plan. But it wants more nuclear power.

The people have the final say. There will be a vote later. Citizens choose their future themselves.
