After the Fukushima disaster in 2011, Germany quickly moved away from nuclear power, with the last plant closing down in late 2023. Germany leads in renewable energy, but this swift change has left them with a big gap in energy security that might last until 2038.



Where can I get more information on this? Wasn't fukushima total disaster in that it was badly maintained and in a bad location? These two pre-conditions don't seem to apply to the plants germany had.


here's a wiki article to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany , https://www.jstor.org/stable/24324663 this is a better source if you're iterested enough
