Will Renewable Energy, Replace Nuclear Reactors?

Now Japan shut down its Tomari 3 nuclear reactor for inspection.
. . . The first time in over 40 years that the country had
. . . not a single nuclear power plant generating electricity.
The March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown
. . . shattered public confidence in atomic energy,
. . . thus far making it politically impossible,
. . . to restart any of the reactors taken offline.
And the disaster’s legacy has spread far beyond Japan.
. . . Some European countries have decided to
. . . phase out their nuclear programs entirely.
In other countries, nuclear plans are proceeding with caution.
. . . But with the world’s fleet of reactors aging,
. . . with new plants suffering construction delays and
. . . cost increases, it is possible that
. . . world nuclear electricity generation has peaked and
. . . begun a long-term decline.
