I´m quite happy that my country will be rid of that crap a few years from now on. Nuclear power is the past, and not even economically feasible if you compute the true cost. Once we decided that it is a bad idea to dump the waste into the ocean (those very barrels are now, 20 years later, beginning to rust and break), we should have abandoned that outdated technology alltogether.
One could argue whether wind turbines are beautiful, and I´m aware of the drawbacks. But it´s not that hard to see that combined with controlling- and storagetech they´re better than nuclear power anytime.
