Germany's last three nuclear power plants are closed, a goal set by the government years ago and finally accomplished. They've replaced nuclear power plants, which emit no CO2, with coal mines, the dirtiest sort of energy.
There will literally be a price to pay. Energy prices will spike 45% for some customers. The three nuclear plants served about 10 million households.
A number of scientists sent a letter pleading for the power plants to keep operating. An organization advocating for nuclear power put out this video to make their argument against the decision for political reasons. Germany shuts down nuclear plants while continuing to pay Russia for oil while Russia wars against Ukraine. It's complicated.
