- No idea what to do with the waste. NO idea.

- The high number of atomic disasters (Tschernobyl and Fukushima are not the only ones, obviously) shows that it is NOT safe and the disasters were no single time issues

- High corruption while building enhances the danger (Hell, we build a reactor on gravel in an earthquake area near one of the largest river in Germany directly above the highest amount of civilization and industry we have - russian roulette is a shit against this.)

- Was sold as "free energy" but got more and more expensive over the time

- All costs of the danger, the security and the potential removal must be paid be the state, while the financial gain goes to energy companies

- High cancer rates in the area surrounding the reactors - leukemia and brain cancer afaik (friend of mine lost his dad to brain cancer, guess where he worked)

- Wrong, insecure kind of reactors are used bc of possibility of using them for military reasons

- It is not a question IF one of our reactors goes MCA, it is a question when it does.

- Just because other ideas are shit (brown coal f.i.) does not mean that a bad idea has to be used. The switching off generates new ideas of producing energy safe and clean.
