Spain pledges to phase out nuclear power by 2035

Spain is aiming to close its nuclear plants by 2035, joining a small number of developed countries pledging a nuclear phaseout as others look to invest further into the energy source.

The government confirmed the plans, Reuters reported, as it introduced energy measures relating to renewable energy. The shutdown of the plants will begin in 2027, and their deconstruction — which is estimated to cost 20.2 billion euros, or $22.4 billion — will be paid for by the plants' operators, according to government officials.
 
Spain’s nuclear fleet consists of seven operating reactors, generating about a fifth of its electricity.

Spain joins other nations, such as Germany and Switzerland, in pledging to move away from nuclear power. Earlier this year, Germany closed down its last three remaining power plants after promising more than a decade ago to phase out nuclear energy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So, they don't really believe that greenhouse-gas induced climate change is the existential threat to humanity that they claim when trying to give control of the world's energy economy to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, Washington, London and New York (the last being the U.N.).
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
