RE: Renewable Energies Part 1 – why do we actually need them?
I will also make a post about nuclear energy. I like it pretty much and there are inherently safe nuclear power plants that can't explode by itself without the influence of war or sabotage. I will definitely make a post about it, because here in Germany there will be no nuclear energy at 2023 or sth like that
That's a shame that Germany won't be using any nuclear energy. I hope that we make progress with it here in America soon. Most designs for generation IV reactors have inherent safety features which make them 100% safe without any human intervention at all. If people can understand that technology and see it in action then maybe the political taboo behind nuclear energy will disappear and people will start to embrace it instead.
When the Fukushima incident happened, the Green politicians took advantage of this situation and spread a panic that led to the adoption of an energy law in Germany, which provided for the closure of all nuclear power plants and senselessly promoted the expansion of renewable energy.
