Britain’s Guardian newspaper just published two very astute articles on different topics which both relate to our collective economic future. The first post, “Germany is Right to Opt Out of Nuclear”, details the European country’s recent rejection of nuclear power for primarily financial reasons. The newspaper explains that clean renewable energy is not only much safer and more affordable than nuclear, it is also a far more sustainable and reliable source of energy:

“If we could open up just a part of the world’s deserts for solar energy, we could satisfy the energy needs of the whole of civilisation. No one can take possession of sunlight; no one can privatise or nationalise it. Everyone can open up this source of energy for himself or herself and profit from it.”
