Well, Germany replaced its nuclear power plants with Wind turbines + coal/gas thermic power plants.

  So increasing emissions. That's very bad.

    I dont't get how people can choose possible local disaster (nuclear) over certain global disaster (co2 emmiting power generation). Not to mention deaths from air polution. I'm all for solar and improved storage solutions, but we have something we know works and works right now, without uncertainties regarding constant baseload. Worst of all are green parties everywhere wanting to shut down nuclear, resulting in the building of gas, coal, or paying for importing either those or nuclear. In which universe is that the green solution?

      If anything, nuclear disasters are 100x worse. Released CO2 will be decreased by being absorbed by vegetation and CO2 capture, once the world decreases its CO2 production. Increases in atmospheric background radiation, on the other hand...
