Germany—which once relied on nuclear power for roughly one-quarter of its energy—had elected a government supportive of renewable energy policies with generous subsidies. The Fukushima disaster in 2011 only served as a catalyst to that shift, compelling Germany to adopt plans to decommission its nuclear power plants on an expedited timeline.
