  This is a very good thing for Uruguay. Hopefully, the wind energy faction of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mines will see that investments in wind and other renewable resources will be far superior to investments in a nuclear power plant. The resulting toxic waste from a nuclear facility that is dangerous to the public and poisonous for millennia is not something the Uruguayan people should have to deal with. Uruguay must maintain its standing in the world as a (relatively) clean country. It will benefit far more from that reputation.

  Don't get sucked into the wind turbine strategy, we have them in the UK and they do not work, all we see is our electricity prices going up every month because of this false thinking that it will reduce our carbon footprint. Once the wind reaches 35 mph they shut down and revert to fossil or nuclear fuel. Most In Britain are not working because the wind inevitably goes over 35mph, into days world nuclear is far cleaner and safer than it was a few years ago.
  
  However it has to be regulated to that safe standard.

  you are right of course 2 Britishbulldog (#
  but as we don’t have a choice really, and have to pay their extort net prices what can we do, every year our gas bill goes up, then the electric, perhaps the government was wrong to sell them of, right or wrong mate,
  if we don’t find cheaper fuel or a way to stop ripping people of and lower prices, more pensioners will die, perhaps im wrong, but it seems the rich get richer, and we all get ripped of, a cheaper alternative fuel perhaps,
  but [what] ive no idea . But not wind turbines ,
