2011 nuclear phase-out policy

The 2011 nuclear phase-out policy was a decision by Germany to gradually shut down all its nuclear power plants by 2022, following the Fukushima disaster in Japan. The goal was to prioritize renewable energy sources like wind and solar, improve safety standards, and reduce nuclear risks. The policy involves decommissioning reactors, investing in clean energy infrastructure, and promoting energy efficiency. It reflects a shift toward sustainable energy, aiming to lessen dependency on nuclear power and fossil fuels, while maintaining energy security and environmental responsibility.
