Germany is ending its nuclear era at a time when many countries are increasing their investment in nuclear power to reduce their carbon emissions.
In fact, there has been a long-standing dispute about nuclear energy in Germany. In the year 2011, after the Fukushima accident in Japan, the fear of spreading radiation in the air frightened the whole world. After the same event, Berlin promised to permanently abandon nuclear power.
The decision had to be postponed due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
In the meantime, however, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted energy markets. Due to this Germany also got delayed in shutting down its nuclear plants.
In fact, Germany had stopped the import of Russian fossil fuel after Moscow’s attack on Ukraine and at the same time postponed the decision to close these nuclear plants for a year. Al Jazeera reported in its report that due to the Russia-Ukraine war, there were concerns about the energy crisis around the world and prices were skyrocketing, but now Germany is optimistic about the increase in petrol supply and renewable energy sources.
