Is science and technology cueless? This comes in the wake of Germany’s decision to shut down Nuclear Plants by 2022. If the Japan’s nuclear disaster has provoked such an initiative, it is really astounding as to why preventive measures are not taken to counter the nuclear crisis despite of the advancements in nuclear science and technology. Closing down plants is not the better alternative when the conventional sources of energy are dwindling and resources scarce.Hope India will not join this bandwagon.
