Also it has been a very "smart" move to stop some of the nuclear power plants when Fukushima happened. Yeah, now Germany has to import electricity from France and Czech Republic. Electricity that is made from nuclear power plants. Very smart! 
Especially regarding the fact that earthquakes and tsunamis arent going to happen very frequently in central Europe.
I'm not saying that nuclear power is good. But these actions that were taken are simply stupid. |
i strongly disagree on some of your points
especially on the one where you say that some people want to have them shut down right now. Not even Greenpeace said that, they said 2015 but they are not a political party and have no say in this.
let's see it from another perspective: if it's technically possible to replace nuclear energy (and coal as well) by renewable energy at acceptable costs - why not do it?
someone has to make the first step and lead by example, there's tons of possibilities that have not been explored yet. Just check this for example:

)
as long as something like Chernobyl or Fukushima can happen and as long as no one knows where to put the nuclear waste (that will radiate for the next 100,000 years), nuclear energy is not the solution.
