In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.

    And nothing is worth doing unless it’s profitable. God I hate capitalism.

      I’m not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?

        I don’t think thats ehat he meant. He meant if renewables wouldn’t be profitable, then in a capitalist system they would rather go for nuclear energy even if renewables are better for our future.

          This was my point. I’m glad renewables are getting more funding and becoming the predominant form of energy in the world. I just wish we would do things because it is good for society rather than good for shareholders.

        Yes. Same with renewables. Profit shouldn’t be a consideration when trying to save the world.
