Hard disagree. As a. swiss voter, this is close to my heart.

50% of all energy in the swiss economy is oil / gas. Of the remaining 50% (electricity), 2/3 are generated by hydro. The remaining ~1/3 by nuclear fission.

Swiss electricity prices are sky-high, and the demand for electricity is going to continue to rise.

To remain a competitive industrial economy, to transition away from oil/gas, and to offset any potential losses of hydro power as glaciers melt, nuclear + solar is the only real path for switzerland.
