There is nothing like risk-free energy-production... That is true for oil. For atomic energy. And for water and wind energy, too.
The big mistake in Europe: environmental issues shave been turned into an ideological crusade no longer based just on mere reason.
Germany has just decided to fully pull out of nuclear energy within the next ten years.
What nobody says today is: the Shroeder government before merkel also had ruled that. Then came the CDU to power and opened the deal again, fully trusting into nuclear power. Then came Fzuskushima, and what many people do not understand is that us Germans have suffered much much dearer from Fukushima than those Japanese: we immediatly felt so much
Angst that now Merkel opportunistically U-turned again and set course for leaving nuclear energy behind.
To my knowledge, our neighbouing states in Europe maintain at least three nuclear powerplants in imminent vicinity to the border with Germany. Nevertheless, we will convince the whole world by setting an example! France especially will play ball soon!
