Germany's decision to shut down its last three nuclear power plants during the 2022/23 energy crisis is under scrutiny.

Internal documents suggest that the Ministry of Economic Affairs, led by Robert Habeck, may have ignored expert advice favoring the extension of nuclear plant operations.

This decision came amidst the energy crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which severely disrupted Germany's gas supply.

Despite promises of an open-ended review, it appears that the ministry had predetermined the outcome against extending the plants' operation.

The Bundestag's investigation committee is now examining these allegations, as documents indicate that the ministry's leadership may have influenced the review process to align with ideological stances rather than practical energy needs.
