Denmark is reconsidering its 40-year ban on nuclear power in a major policy shift for the renewables-heavy country.
The Danish government will analyse the potential benefits of a new generation of nuclear power technologies after banning traditional nuclear reactors in 1985, its energy minister said.
The Scandinavian country is one of Europe’s most renewables-rich energy markets and home to Ørsted, the world’s biggest offshore wind company. More than 80% of its electricity is generated from renewables, including wind, biofuels and solar, according to the International Energy Agency.
No one wants anything like that near where they live. Though personally, I have nothing against wind turbines as long as they are placed far enough away to not disturb you. Like I really don’t see the problem with wind turbines 10-20km from the coast which some people think completely ruins the view.
As for nuclear power plant in Denmark. One reason I don’t see it happening anytime soon is exactly due NIMBY. We have yet to figure out what to do with the small amount of leftovers from the Risø reactor.
These people are so fucking annoying… If anything they look cool as shit
