A year ago, electricity from nuclear power plants also ended in Lower Saxony. The country is focusing on the significant expansion of renewable energies.

Opponents of nuclear power point to the risks that still exist on the power plant site in Lingen. Nuclear power advocates are drawing attention to the rise in energy prices due to the war in Ukraine.. Nuclear fusion is particular interest - Germany should not lag behind in this regard, says Kerena Vämmerling, spokeswoman of the Välmerlings policy group.. Last year there were 132 newly built wind turbines with an output of 635 MW, according to the “Energy Transition Task Force’s” “energy transition” report. While in 2019 there will be 132 wind turbines, the number of newly built solar farms in Germany will rise to 6,000, the report says.. There will also be an increase in the production of climate-neutral energy in the future, said the parliamentary environmental group.
