Says that Germany is closing all its nuclear power plants by 2022 and will have to find alternative ways to find the 22% of electic power that they currently provide.
Sounds like 'flat earth' stuff to be honest. Also, I could partially understand a decision not to build any new nuclear plants, but why shut down those that already exist (except for older obsolete ones)? Once they've been built, the 'damage' is already done - they are radioactive sites - so you might as well get the benefit of the electricity.
