Germany shuts down last nuclear plants, ending atomic era.
TL;DR Summary
Germany has shut down its last three nuclear power stations, ending a six-decade program that saw one of Europe's strongest protest movements. The final wind-down was delayed last summer to this year after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine prompted Germany to halt Russian fossil fuel imports. Germany aims for fully-renewable electricity generation by 2035. Nuclear power made up just 6% of Germany's energy production last year, compared to 44% from renewables.
