Since the 1970s, Germany has experienced five energy transitions. In 2018, the country started to rethink its dependence on fossil fuels and initiated a plan to a low-carbon, nuclear free economy. This policy, known as Energiewende, has met significant challenges. This seminar will explore the difficulties, political battles, and unintended consequences that the country has had to face.
