that led to the worst mass coral bleaching event on record in the state.
Nedimyer, technical director for the nonprofit Reef Renewal USA,
and other colleagues kicked into gear. …

Gerade Rieder steht sinnbildlich für den Wandel in Teilen der Partei. Der Walliser Ständerat gilt als Vater des «Solarexpress» und war lange ein Vertreter des Ausbaus der erneuerbaren Energien. Noch bei den Wahlen 2023 beantwortete er bei Smartvote die Frage, ob in der Schweiz wieder neue Atomkraftwerke gebaut werden dürfen, mit «Nein».
Im Ständerat stimmte er nun für Röstis Gegenvorschlag.
