Hat Kernenergie Zukunft? Mein Kommentar dazu hat einige Diskussion ausgelöst, daher hier noch ein Longread dazu: Es gibt bessere und schlechtere Argumente gegen Kernenergie. Nicht jede Kritik stimmt. Aber insgesamt hat Kernenergie gegen Solar und Wind keine Chance. Sehen wir uns das an:

Kernenergie: die Zukunft von vorgestern

Kernenergie ist vielleicht noch nicht tot. Aber sie bewegt sich nicht mehr und riecht komisch. Ein Streifzug durch das Gewirr von besseren und schlechteren Argumenten rund um die Kernenergie.

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰 Journalists give a voice to the voiceless, hold power to account, and shine a light in the darkest corners of society often at great personal risk. Too many face intimidation, censorship, and violence simply for doing their job.
