Nuclear Energy makes a Comeback

Twenty years after the disaster in Chernobyl, a renewed "enthusiasm for nuclear energy" is starting to spread over the continent, Jedrzej Bielecki writes, looking back on the gas crisis of recent weeks. "Germany and Britain are reconsidering the closure of their nuclear power stations, while the French and Ukrainians are building new ones to avoid dependency on Russian gas supplies. The Finns were the first to react, perhaps because they're closest to Russia." Bielecke goes on to voice his fears that the majority will follow the example of the Finns, who are currently building a state-of-the-art power station in Olkiluoto, and that Poland will also follow suit and extend its nuclear facilities.
