The “yes” from Germany’s politics to phasing out nuclear power is on the books. But how long will the promise be kept? And what does the phase-out scenario signify for the power supply? What’s with coal-fired power plants and wind turbines that only supply electricity when the wind blows? Will the lights be going out in Germany soon? The documentary THE POWER’S ON (original title: UNTER STROM) sets off on the quest for tomorrow’s energy.
