Yup. With things like heating, refrigeration etc at least it has a tangible benefit on human lives. This is just selling the health of the planet for money!
If the contract to build the plant is let correctly, then it can be made to be safe. When something is outsourced and it does not work, most of the time the person letting the contract has done a shit job.
well we germans do not have a good track of making buildings correctly and safe in the recent past.
it either took twice as long and was twice as expensive or it was a complete mess. and this was with things that needs to be less safe than a nuclear power plant.
germany lost a lot of knowledge in the construction space thats why I highly doubt that we can make a safe nuclear power plant that might produce less garbadge. also corporate entities grown in power in germany and they try to safe as much money as possible.
Wind can cause serous issues to birds flying around, and the amount of land that needs to be used for solar is a lot. And that will bring its own issues.
On the flip side the UK, or Ireland could probably each power all of Europe if they fully built out offshore wind. I'm sure plenty of other country's coasts have similar potential.
