GERMANY SHUTS DOWN ITS LAST NUCLEAR POWER STATIONSドイツ “脱原発”を実現

2023年05月17日 | 爺英語

Germany ended its use of nuclear power by shutting down its last three power stations on Saturday.
Former Chancellor Angela Merkel adopted a nuclear phase-out policy following the 2011 accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The government initially planned to shut down all the plants by December of last year.
But it delayed the move after Russia cut natural gas supplies to Germany following its invasion of Ukraine.
Members of civic groups gathered near one of the final three plants in southern Germany to mark the end of the country's nuclear policy.
They rejoiced and called for a swift change to renewable energy.
But some people are still urging the government to use nuclear power.
A recent opinion poll shows that 59 percent of the people in Germany are opposed to the abolition of nuclear power plants, while 34 percent supported it.

abolition 廃止、全廃  when a law or a system is officially ended
