Germany has shut down its last three nuclear reactors, ending a six-decade reliance on nuclear energy. The phase-out, initiated after the Fukushima disaster, has sparked debate among environmentalists and energy experts. While some, like Greenpeace, celebrate the move, others, including Fatih Birol and Greta Thunberg, argue it increases fossil fuel dependence. Experts Michele Governatori and Myrto Tripathi discuss the role of nuclear energy in the green transition, agreeing it is essential but not renewable, and emphasize that energy policy should be guided by economic and technological developments rather than policymakers.
