What’s in the news?

• Germany has switched off its last three nuclear reactors, exiting atomic power even as it seeks to wean itself off fossil fuels and manage an energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. 
• While many Western countries are upping their investments in atomic energy to reduce their emissions, Germany brought an early end to its nuclear age. 
• Germany has been looking to leave behind nuclear power since 2002, but the phase-out was accelerated by former chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.
