> Ask Japan, and especially Fukushima's residents, about this. Yes, let's ask Japan! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-16/japan-see... https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/26/world/ger... >> Germany shut down its reactors for idiotic reasons: > Reason: "Fukushima" QED. > > Japan is reactivating its nuclear plants. >Some sing this song since 2015 And it still happens to be true. And only in the weird minds of anti-nuclear activists are renewables and nuclear power incompatible. Almost the entire industrialized world is investing massively in both nuclear and renewables. And once again: The law that required nuclear reactors to be closed was passed by the Red/Green coalition in 2002. Governments are bound by the law of the land. Now other governments should have scrapped those laws, but they didn't. So they bear some responsibility for this disaster, but the main responsibility is still with Red/Green (2002) in general and the Greens in particular, because they were the ones pushing it. It is also really telling that for some reason everyone wants to ascribe this huge "success" to their political enemies... | ||

Japan: no comment nor "someone sees something" changes anything to the (already stated) facts: since Fukushima (2011) Japan did not restart its nuclear reactors and is quickly building renewables: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-fossil-renewa... > the entire industrialized world is investing massively in both nuclear and renewables Nope: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-fossil-renewa... | ||
