SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Germany will close down all of its nuclear power plants by 2022, according to reports out Monday. The German government had been reviewing the role of nuclear power after an earthquake and tsunami crippled the Fukushima nuclear complex in Japan in March. "There will be no clause for revision," Germany's environment minister Norbert Rottgen said, according to a BBC report.
