A Comparative Analysis of Nuclear Power in Germany and France
The criticism of nuclear power and the politicians representing that view are explored. The origins of the anti-nuclear movement in Germany can be traced back to the 1970s, when France heavily invested in nuclear power. Concerns about nuclear waste and safety have fueled the anti-nuclear sentiments. France had an advantage in terms of enriched uranium supply due to its former colonies. The Fukushima disaster in Japan led Merkel to decide to end German nuclear power.
