Switzerland to phase out nuclear power by 2034...

The Swiss cabinet will gradually decommission all Switzerland’s nuclear power plants by 2034.

 Energy Minister Doris Leuthard said the country’s five nuclear power stations would not be replaced when they reach the end of their lifespan.

The government’s recommendation on Wednesday will now be discussed by parliament from June 8 and a final decision is expected in the middle of next month.

Leuthard said the government was going on a lifespan of 50 years, meaning the first of five power stations would have to close in 2019 and the last in 2034. More...
