“Switzerland Votes to Phase Out Nuclear Power”
Swiss citizens overwhelmingly approved a referendum mandating the closure of all nuclear power plants by 2045. The decision reflects growing public concern over the safety and environmental impact of nuclear energy. Renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydropower will replace the lost capacity, aligning Switzerland with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. While environmentalists celebrate the move, critics warn of potential energy shortages and rising electricity costs during the transition period. For now, Switzerland’s commitment to phasing out nuclear power demonstrates its determination to embrace sustainable alternatives.
