◎魏國金
A new poll finds that a large majority of Germans back the government’s decision to phase out nuclear power and switch to renewable energies within a decade, despite rising electricity bills.
一份新民調發現,絕大多數德國人支持政府10年內逐步淘汰核能電廠,並轉向再生能源的決策,即便電費攀漲亦然。
The poll for German news magazine Focus published Sunday found that 72 percent continue to support the country’s energy switchover. Only 24 percent were opposed to the policy.
這份為德國新聞雜誌「焦點」進行、週日公布的民調發現,72%民眾繼續支持國家能源徹底轉換的決策。僅24%反對此政策。
Germany’s grid operators announced earlier this month that a surcharge on households’ electricity prices financing the expansion of renewable energies will increase by 47 percent starting in January. A typical family of four will then have to pay about (euro) 250 ($325) per year on top of their bill.
德國電網營運業者本月初宣布,提供再生能源擴展資金的家戶電價附加費用,將從明年1月起調漲47%。屆時,一個典型的4口之家在電費之外,每年還必須支付約250歐元費用(325美元)。
Polling agency Forsa surveyed 1,000 people this week. Focus did not provide the poll’s margin of error.
民調機構「弗莎」本週調查1000名民眾。「焦點」沒有提供該民調的誤差範圍。
