Recent revelations indicate that German officials, particularly from the Green party, manipulated expert advice and falsified internal documents to expedite the phase-out of nuclear power in Germany. This decision, reportedly influenced by ideological motives rather than safety concerns, involved deliberately falsified information and has been criticized for its timing during an energy crisis, leading to economic repercussions. The controversy extends to the handling of the extension of Germany's three remaining nuclear stations during the 2022-23 energy crisis, with two ministers now under scrutiny for their roles in the alleged manipulation, following a media report.
