Dear Reader, This week marked a year since Germany switched off its last nuclear reactors. That decision put the country on a somewhat lonely path towards a future without any of the tried-and-tested pillars of 20th century electricity production. With coal power also to be switched off in the coming years, Germany believes it will be able to keep hold of its heavy industry, while simultaneously electrifying its transport and heating sectors - all on the back of renewable energy.
Great article where you give a local angle on a big national issue.
