Opponents of nuclear power warn of life extensions for nuclear power plants
Environmental organizations and citizens' initiatives have warned against using nuclear power plants in Germany for a longer period of time. With regard to statements by North Rhine-Westphalia's Economics Minister Andreas Pinkwart (FDP) about extending the service life of the three remaining nuclear power plants in Germany until 2029, they emphasized that the use of nuclear energy could not solve the current energy and climate problems. "The use of nuclear energy is unsustainable, it is expensive, it is extremely risky and the nuclear waste means a heavy legacy for future generations," it said in a statement distributed on Wednesday.

The uranium story | Nuclear lobby | Uranium economy | MIC | WiP
To all propagandists, experts, pocket fillers,
great statesmen and horror clowns
After the explosions near the Chernobyl and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants, anyone who still seriously claims that having nuclear power plants is a good thing must now ask themselves whether the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) really pays enough for such suicide propaganda.
Because whoever still wants to tell people in the spring of 2022 that a "dirty bomb" in the back yard can also have its advantages, must consider people to be completely stupid. As a consultant he loses his credibility and is therefore at best still acceptable for dictators. As a politician he loses his credibility for all time and is - even for MIK - at best can still be used as a despot.
The payment must therefore be good beyond all measure.

Poisoned bravery
In militaristic praise of the armed Ukrainian resistance.
Gerhard Mangott, Professor of International Relations in Innsbruck and much sought-after Russia expert by the media, will present on March 9.3th. 2022 on the RBB Inforadio: Military support for Ukraine will prolong the war, Ukraine cannot win against the Russian army (from minute 26:24).
"Ukraine is now better equipped militarily than it was when the Russians invaded Crimea in 2014, but they wouldn't stand a chance against the Russian troops," Eastern Europe expert Klaus Segbers (FU Berlin) told the Berliner Morgenpost on March 13. 2. 2022. Norman Paech rightly wrote in Telepolis on March 10.3:
The sacrifices and suffering, escape or death are the only things the people in the besieged cities are sure to achieve. In fact, you only have the choice between a Russian occupation in a halfway intact or largely destroyed city.
Norman Paech
On March 6.3th explains the mayor of Kiev, Klitschko, on ARD: "We will defend ourselves, no matter what the cost." Fighting back is worth supporting.
But taking military action against the Russian aggressor army, which has superior firepower and can reduce cities to rubble in the face of continued outside resistance, is either martyrdom or the ruthless sacrifice of anyone who still wields a weapon be able ...

Additional Risks
Nuclear power plants are not only endangered by natural disasters or internal causes such as quality defects, power failures and human error. Military flight maneuvers and nuclear power plant sites located in flight paths from civil airports also pose a risk, as the past has already shown.
Due to the current threat situation, the risk of an attack has also increased further. There have been several plans for attacks and attacks that have actually been carried out in recent decades.
A study by the Society for Plant and Reactor Safety (GRS) from 2003, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, pointed to the dangers of plane crashes, targeted terrorist attacks and the effects of war. This study was kept secret from the public upon completion...
Perpetrated and planned attacks during the operational phase
Brennilis/Monts d´Arrée (France)
On August 15, 1975, Breton terrorists fighting for Brittany's independence from France attacked the reactor with two bombs.
The separatists had crossed the facility's artificial cooling lake in a boat and cut through the fence. A vent and water inlet were damaged by the blasts. The reactor was temporarily shut down for inspection.
Indian Point (USA)
The terrorist organization al-Qaeda apparently had plans to also carry out an attack on the Indian Point nuclear power plant on September 11, 2001, which is only 56 kilometers north of New York City. Had this been implemented, it is estimated that 43.700 people would have died instantly and 518.000 would have contracted cancer. The cleanup and sanitation would have cost $XNUMX trillion...
