Nuclear Power in Germany

[Hans-im-Glück]

Nuclear Energy is a dangerous technology from the past.

I know that we can't turn off the nuclear power plants immediately, but to say there is no alternative is more than stupid. There are 1000 ways to produce electricity and 1000 ways to save energy. We need only to support this and do not focus on an old and dangerous technology.

The "specialists" said a big Nuclear Meltdown is only one in 100000 years. I'm 43 years old and in my life there was 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, and now Japan.

Why are only nuclear accidents relevant? Other energy types have proven a lot more dangerous than nuclear over time....but I suppose that doesn't fit the propaganda from the Greens' crusade.

Want you to live in a contaminated environment? These are the consequences of a nuclear accident. Be happy that you live near Darmstadt and not in Prypiat (Ukraine)

Again, it's an issue of probabilities. Correctly run nuclear power plants are not very dangerous. Especially in an area with virtually no natural disasters.

Most accidents are caused by human error, not natural disasters. People make mistakes, but nuclear power plants don't allow it.

In Japan the NPP were build for a earthquake with a magnitude of 8. The quake had 9. This was a human error too.

Yeah, but oil and coal deaths don't have scary words like nuclear and atomic attached to them.  Greenies are, by nature, scared pessimists.

I do not live by the motto "After me the flood, " as you.

We must find a way to live without Nuclear Energy. Even without accidents, it is very questionable. There is no country that knows what to do with its nuclear waste.

I know that we can not turn off overnight, all nuclear power plants, but it exists nothing in this world without an alternative.

@Franzl
You must feel very alone in Germany with your opinion. Even the majority of the CDU / CSU and FDP voters are opposed to nuclear power.

That's the motto of the nuclear power proponents:
