Coal
and oil are the main fossil fuels responsible for the most Green House Gas
emissions. Rich nations burn most of these fuels and responsible for emitting
CO2 in to the atmosphere. Oilwatch International demand keep “oil in the soil”
and “coal in the hole” and “tar sand in the land”. This solution is simple.
What are the alternatives? Earth receives enough solar energy and wind power if
the world needs to harness them.
Yet
most developed countries plan to build more and more nuclear power. South
Africa Government planning to spend 1 trilling Rand for building nuclear power
plants. India, Russia, Malaysia are some other countries to build nuclear
power. Sri Lanka is also planning to follow the same path.
Germany
is the only country to abandon all nuclear power stations. All remaining
nuclear power stations should be closed by 2020. Will rest of the world follow
Germany?
