Nuclear energy scares people. The climate crisis is giving it another chance
CNN
Growing up in Finland, Iida Ruishalme had a deep affinity for nature — particularly the forest, where she loved to go trekking with her dogs. Now, she's worried that her daughters won't experience such idyllic days as the climate crisis accelerates. So last month, she boarded a night train from Switzerland to join protests in the German capital Berlin.
Ruishalme agrees the world needs more wind farms and solar panels. But what she and her fellow demonstrators really want is a commitment to something else: nuclear energy.
"We have to give this technology a chance," the Mothers for Nuclear member said, joining dozens of others who stood with signs outside the city's famous Brandenburg Gate.
