Nuclear Power under tight regulation is safe and efficient. Green groups are stupid to think we can replace the efficiency of nuclear power with green energy that is too expensive and not enough for the demand. And to compare a Nuclear plant from Japan to a USA or Europe most be out of their mind. and by the way, Once nuclear waste is spend, the radiation is so low is no harm unless you physically handle it or gets in the water. Or put it in a rocket and shoot it to the sun problem solve.

@PopesOfDullness thats funny; you seem to worry about the millions of Euros they will need to bury it somewhere..... i think thats better than burying people dont you think??

[kahetel13]

@danmarino1970 if a traditionally high-tech country like Germany is doing this, i think its time to listen......

@alSation81 True but It's probably better to be dormant then active.. right?

[alSation81]

what are they going to do with all the active waste for the next 5,000 years?

There are PLENTY of alternative power sources available and what's more, our governments know about them, buy up the patents for them and bury them. No money is needed for research because it's already been done. Power supply is one of the many dupes thrown upon us to have us pay pay pay. We can 'elect' (supposedly elect) our 'leaders', but when is the last time we were given a choice for our energy supply? Sorry to say, its all part of the spaghetti bolognese we call civilisation.

Ik hoop de Nederland snel volgt. Al lijkt dat niet te gaan lukken met dit kabinet...

Kernenergie moet op de shop. Goed zo Merkel!

@imaginefication The age of fossil fuels, nuclear and corrupt cartels are coming to an end. For over one hundred years we have been manipulated to believe that utilizing fossil fuels is the way to go.. that is the illussion. Did you know that the first combustible engine ran on ethanol? ..and the first diesel engine on peanut oil? (Paris world fair 1889). It was prohibition that ended the ethanol engine. Ever hear of charged clusters, permanent magnets, 0 point energy, cars that run on water?

"Germany's Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle has warned that replacing nuclear energy with renewable sources may cost the country as much as two billion euros each year. "

I wonder how this will affect the economy in the EU. I mean, all EU countries are still recovering from the 2008 crisis. Also, it's just a matter of time before the dollar collapses.

What if everyonne pulls the plug on them nuke plants and don't replace them with equal output facilities, because they don't have the money?
