Why has Germany shut down its nuclear plants? | Inside Story

After years of contentious debates, Germany has shut down its last three remaining nuclear power plants.
Critics have long described the energy source, as dangerous and unsustainable.
But some have pushed back against the plan - citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis.
Supporters insist it's the right move and they hope other nations will follow.

But are the alternatives, safer?
