Germany's Nuclear Exit Under Scrutiny

Published: 2024-12-20

Germany's controversial nuclear energy exit is under intense scrutiny as former State Secretary Patrick Graichen faces a parliamentary inquiry.

Graichen, a key figure in the decision, is accused of prioritizing political goals over technical assessments.

Internal emails suggest that the Ministry, under Robert Habeck, pushed for predetermined outcomes in stress tests, raising doubts about the transparency of the process.

Critics argue that the decision was ideologically driven, leaving businesses and citizens to bear the consequences.

Graichen, now working for Ukraine's energy sector, has yet to fully address these allegations, leaving many questions unanswered.
