3月9日から7年ぶりに訪日するドイツのメルケル首相が、同国が進めている脱原発政策について「日本も同じ道を進むべきだ」とビデオメッセージで述べ、エネルギー政策の転換を呼びかけた。

ドイツ政府が7日、福島県出身の井上茂義博士(ベルリン工科大学)と対話するメルケル首相の映像を公式サイトに掲載した。この中で、メルケル首相は「ドイツは原子力から撤退するという決定をし、再生可能エネルギーに期待している。日本も同じ道を取るべきで、日独で協力していけるはずだ」などと話した。井上博士との詳しいやり取りは以下の通り。

■「安全性が最も重要だ」

井上博士:日本と福島のことについて聞きたいと思います。あなたもご存じのように、2011年の震災で、私の故郷の福島県は大きな被害を受けました。津波や原発事故が起きたことで、不幸なことに日本のイメージは悪化しました。イメージを回復するにはどうすればいいと思いますか?

メルケル首相:はい、この恐ろしい事故に私たちは同情しました。そして、ドイツはより早く原子力から撤退するという大きな決定をしました。私たちは再生可能エネルギーに、とても期待しています。私は日本も同じ道を取るべきだと思っています。より良い方向に向かうことだからです。私たちドイツと、日本は協力していけるはずです。

再生可能エネルギーの発展について話しましょう。もちろん、私たちにはいわゆる「ベースロード電源」が必要です。日本も他の島国と同様に資源の問題を抱えています。それゆえに、日本とドイツは原子力に関しては全く同じようにはできないかもしれません。しかし、福島の事故の経験から言えることは、安全性が最も重要だということです。

私は福島の事故を経験したドイツの首相として、できるだけ早く原子力から撤退するようにしています。

【訂正】末尾の部分を「原子力から撤退するように提唱します」を「原子力から撤退するようにしています」に訂正します。(2015/03/10 20:34)

Oishinbo went further down its antinuclear path in the new episode released on May 12, after sparking a controversy in the previous one on the fallout from the nuclear accident at TEPCO\'s nuclear power plant. Oishinbo\'s story writer Tetsu Kariya wrote the dialogues of \' a lot of people suffer from unexplained nosebleeds \' and \' we can not live in Fukushima\' in the latest and previous episode of the comic.
