Germany's anti-nuclear stance, rooted in historical factors, has led to energy security concerns and public regret, while the world embraces a nuclear renaissance.
The world is experiencing a nuclear renaissance. Uranium prices are soaring as the world snaps up nuclear fuel, public favor for nuclear power is at a 10-year high in the United States, Russia is busily expanding its own nuclear energy empire in emerging economies in Africa, and even Japan is moving back to the carbon-free energy source 13 years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
