ESSENBACH, GERMANY - JULY 12: The Kernkraftwerk Isar nuclear power plant stands on July 12, 2022 near Essenbach, Germany. Germany's federal coalition government is considering letting Germany's remaining three nuclear power plants, including the Isar 2 reactor, which are supposed to shut down by the end of this year, to continue operating a short time longer in order to help bridge a possible energy shortfall this coming winter. Germany is still dependent on Russia for a large portion of its energy imports and is facing a possible shortage of natural gas should Russia continue to diminish its gas deliveries following tensions over Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.
