CNN原文：

Germany's final three nuclear power plants close their doors on Saturday, marking the end of the country's nuclear era that has spanned more than six decades. Nuclear power has long been contentious in Germany. There are those who want to end reliance on a technology they view as unsustainable, dangerous and a distraction from speeding up renewable energy. But for others closing down nuclear plants is short-sighted. They see it as turning off the tap on a reliable source of low-carbon energy at a time when drastic cuts to planet-heating pollution are needed.

德国最后三座核电站于周六关闭，标志着该国60多年的核时代的结束。核能在德国一直备受争议。有些人希望结束对这种技术的依赖，他们认为这种技术是不可持续的、危险的，而且会分散人们对加快可再生能源发展的注意力。但对其他人来说，关闭核电站是缺乏远见的。在他们看来，关闭核电站相当于在需要大幅减少导致地球变暖的污染的时候，关闭了可靠的低碳能源来源龙头。
