We’ve all heard about the tragic events in Japan in the last weeks. First of all, I would like to express my grief and also encourage anyone to try to help the people affected by the events.
The events in Japan have brought on heavy discussions about the ethics of nuclear energy and what threats it supposes. It is not the first time that incidents like these happen, everyone remembers Chernobyl well enough.
Clearly, the nuclear energy market has gone down heavily these days. After the first incident with the nuclear station at Fukushima the shares related to any nuclear energy has experienced steep losses. In response to these events, a rise of stocks for renewable, clean energy has also been seen.
So, what is clear is that many people are not prepared to accept the risk of this "relatively" cheap energy.
