The Swiss government's Energy Strategy 2050 called for the ban of new nuclear power plants and investment in renewable energy. Meaning that under the energy plan, the 5 nuclear power plants would stay active. The voting on this subject have not been totaled, however, the New York Times reported that initial figures show Swiss voters passed the energy plan with 58.2 percent support. (Since the country is a direct democracy, they can pass major policy issues.) Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said the Energy Strategy 2050 will reduce the use of fossil fuels and foreign energy while supporting and expanding domestic production of renewable energy. If passed Energy Strategy 2050 is planned to take action in 2018.
