    ‘Does the world need nuclear energy?’ was a wonderful
    debate, but it was made in 2010. Very many things have happened after that.
    Solar, wind etc have made much progress, the technologies improve rapidly and
    the price of those energies has gone down. Even though the consequences of Fukoshima
    are not well known to many people, the accident scares many people. I would
    like ‘Does the world need nuclear energy?’ is made once again.
