Hi NNadir,

Your point of view is very interesting, indeed renewable energies still bring a lot of issues and are anything but renewable. However, I can't understand you when you say that they are less safe than nuclear energy.

Have a look at the list below, what are going to do when the earth will be covered by the radioactive craters of what used to be our nuclear power plants ?

Radioactivity last long and spread fast across the globe. And there have been too many incidents for us to keep using nuclear power as if it was safe.

and another one just in french about "le vent et la radioactivité".
