Germany Shuts Down Half of Six Remaining Nuclear Power Plants
-------------------------------------------------------------

German officials say they've shut down three of the nation's six
remaining nuclear plants ahead of a year-end deadline to cease the use
of nuclear power. Germany's government says it's on track to phase out
the use of coal by 2030 and will continue to scale up renewable energy
sources to meet demand for electricity.
