  • Germany announced on Monday that it would likely be extending the life of two of its remaining nuclear power plants.
  • For two of the three parties currently in coalition, the SPD and the Greens in particular, exiting nuclear power was also a decades-long campaign platform.
  • The SPD and Greens together ushered in Germany’s first nuclear phaseout, only for it to be overturned for just 18 months or so by former Chancellor Angela Merkel.
