Review the recent decision of the govt. to increase the nuclear power capacity by two folds by 2030, and also to increase coal power and hydro power capacity in the context of a few relevant news articles from around the globe. ...move towards smooth energy transition, and... stop subsidising the disastrous power and transmission line projects based on conventional technologies.

Germany shuts down half of its remaining nuclear plants
https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/germany-shuts-down-half-of-its-remaining-nuclear-plants/article38080285.ece ..the German government said this week that decommissioning all nuclear plants next year and then phasing out the use of coal by 2030 won't affect the country's energy security or its goal of making Europe's biggest economy “climate neutral” by 2045. “By massively increasing renewable energy and accelerating the expansion of the electricity grid we can show that this is possible in Germany,” Economy and Climate Minister Robert Habeck said.
Is Nuclear Energy Renewable? Nuclear Power & Renewable Energy
https://www.inspirecleanenergy.com/blog/clean-energy-101/is-nuclear-energy-renewable nuclear fission occurs the byproducts are in the form of unstable atomic nuclei known as radioactive material. If radioactive material is not disposed of properly, it negatively affects the environment. Renewable energy is a much better choice for the environment and your home, and is a completely clean way to power your everyday needs. Renewable energies can be used on a small scale or a larger scale, unlike nuclear power which is only possible on an enormous scale. This makes renewable energy the best choice, especially moving forward when more and more people are looking for clean energy sources.
