Germany screwed up. They closed nuclear power plants because of the disaster in Japan, coal fired power plants because of the climate, and now natural gas is scarce and very expensive. Their green plans don't meet demand, and short term that leads to very high prices.
I have posted on this topic (nuclear energy) a lot of times. It is the cheapest and cleanest form of energy available. But for some unknown reason, the green party moonbats want to close down all the nuclear powerpants. I am glad that in my country we are actually trying to cut down on thermal power plants and at the same time trying to increase the share of nuclear energy. I believe that there is enough Uranium in this planet to keep the nuclear power plants running for another 1,000 years (230 years according to the NEA, but I believe that it is an underestimation).
I am also in favour of nuclear, because it is the least bad solution. Especially in Europe, where we have (almost) no oil and gas. But we must not forget the issue of nuclear waste.
Another thing is that Germany, and Europe in general with Germany at the head, has had a suicidal energy policy. While Germany was closing nuclear power plants, China was opening new ones.
In Europe we have set ourselves up as saviours of the planet when what we are going to have to consider is how to save ourselves, which is why I believe that in terms of energy the best option is nuclear.
