let's see it from another perspective: if it's technically possible to replace nuclear energy (and coal as well) by renewable energy at acceptable costs - why not do it?

someone has to make the first step and lead by example, there's tons of possibilities that have not been explored yet. Just check this for example: http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unt...647858,00.html (aren't you building a new house right now? )

as long as something like Chernobyl or Fukushima can happen and as long as no one knows where to put the nuclear waste (that will radiate for the next 100,000 years), nuclear energy is not the solution.
So who was responsible for the quick shutdown of some of Germany's power plants?

I agree with you, IF it's technically possible, then it should be done and I am sure that the technical progress will head into this direction. Renewable energy is a horse that you can bet on. BUT I am not sure if we are at a point already where renewable energy is affordable for the mass. We will see.
