The End of The Nuclear Age?

[Bells]

And yes, i had to check myself to no spell it "nuklear"...

So, Germany is jumping off of the Nuclear Train, and now so is Japan (not official yet, but the people are already claiming for it, so it's just a matter of time). 2 of the major Industrial Superpowers in the world are turning away from Nuclear sources of power.

So, do you guys think this is the turning point where our global economy starts to really pick up steam and direction towards a new, sustainable, more advanced form of Power?

I mean, once those countries stop using Nuclear Energy, they WILL have quite a big gap in their energy supply that they will need to fill with something. And the main reason they were using Nuclear in the first place was because it supplied the right amount at the right cost...

So, if they trully turn away from this source, this could very well mean that you will see in the next decade a huge improvement in research and funding of alternative power sources (wind and solar, no doubt). There will be a demand, and now they will need a supply.

More money and Demand, means more corporative interest and more research, more research means more advances in short and long term, and more Advances means cheaper and better production. So on and on until it's capable of supply to the demand.

Being one of the leaders in the science and financial world, the USA down the line will eventually try to tap that. Maybe it's the opportunity that was missing to get off foreign oil at last?

Either way, this is kinda exciting. I'm not sure yet, but it feels like we're moving through a scientific shift that could actually alter the shape and form of modern life if the global economy actually starts to physically change towards Eletric and Solar power in large industrial scale... this could be interesting if it indeed happens.

Also of notice: That also means a entire new landscape of Jobs, trade schools, professions and business opportunities that aren't really wide available today.
