Why has Germany Shut Down its Nuclear Plants? | Inside Story

Germany has shut down its last three remaining Nuclear Power Plants

After years of contentious debates, Germany has shut down its last three remaining nuclear power plants.
Critics have long described the energy source, as dangerous and unsustainable.

Supporters insist it’s the right move and they hope other nations will follow.

But are the alternatives, safer?
