Debate and Controversy in Germany Over Definitive Farewell to Nuclear Energy
The last nuclear power plants in Germany will shut down on Saturday, April 15. Opponents argue that this event will lead to energy supply disruptions, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and more expensive energy. However, the government rejects these arguments.
On Saturday, April 15, three nuclear power plants in Germany that are still operational are set to be shut down and taken offline. Thus, the final phase of Germany’s farewell to nuclear energy becomes a reality.
According to enacted laws, the last three remaining power plants in Germany’s electricity grid were supposed to cease operations six months ago, bringing the process of ending the use of nuclear energy in electricity production in this country to a definitive conclusion.
The Ukraine war and the ensuing energy crisis caused these three power plants to continue operating for an additional six months.
