Yoon Suk-yeol Promises to End Ruling Party’s Nuclear Phase Out Strategy
I don’t care how many windmills you make, it will never equal the energy output that nuclear power can generate. It seems more and more countries are realizing this especially as the world turns more to electric cars:
Main opposition presidential candidate Yoon Suk-yeol on Monday vowed to scrap the current Moon Jae-in government’s nuclear phase-out policy, saying he will make South Korea a powerhouse in nuclear power generation.
“I will recover the ecosystem of nuclear power generation and advance safe nuclear technologies so that they can become a core engine to drive the country,” Yoon of the People Power Party wrote on his Facebook page.
Yoon emphasized that it is a global trend to use nuclear power generation along with other energy sources to reduce carbon and lessen the dependence on foreign countries for energy, adding that even the European Union Taxonomy recently labeled nuclear power as green energy.
“French President (Emmanuel) Macron reversed his words of ‘nuclear-phase out’ five years ago and declared ‘U-turn to nuclear power,'” Yoon said. “After nuclear phase-out, Italy lost its energy power and became a country that imports the most electricity in Europe.”

Good, look at Germany after it phased out nuke power. Phasing out nukes part of commie moon’s plan to make Korea dependent on China.
Moon’s decision to get Korea out of nuclear power, like his other domestic policies, did more harm than good.
It not only help destroy the only Korean manufacturer of nuclear power systems, but helped damage the countryside with the craze to put up solar cells and windmills in every open space available, regardless of economic feasibility and environmental impact.
Cutting down on coal fired powerplants, while maintaining nuclear power and promoting more feasible power sources such as hydrogen would have made more sense than the craze for windmills and solar panels.
