This is the best summary I could come up with:


Months earlier, during a visit to the Arabelle turbine manufacturing site in Belfort, Macron unveiled an ambitious nuclear program.

Minister Habeck defended his ministry's actions, emphasising the need to focus on replacing Russian natural gas rather than relying on nuclear energy for electricity.

The decision to extend the life of the last three nuclear power plants was eventually reached several months later, reflecting a compromise pushed by the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) .

The handling of this matter has faced criticism from Germany's conservative opposition, who argue that the process lacked transparency and openness.

The Spanish government announced in December plans to phase out the country's nuclear reactors, with the first plant shutdown scheduled for 2027.

In March this year, Portugal took a significant step towards dismantling its long-serving nuclear reactor, which had been instrumental in scientific research and education for over five decades.


The original article contains 908 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I see no reason why european countries would turn down nuclear energy for coal (germany) or natural gas.

In all honesty, I am starting to think that aluminum foil headed individuals are more powerful than expected or that the energy lobbies are once again tampering with people’s interests
