Opinion:
I think it is good what Greenpeace did. It is a very important decision the ministers made. If they didn't involve the public that much, by consulting, the government should invole the people.

Because if alternative energy resources are not giving enough energy, than there aren’t any other solutions. If they buy it from other countries, we don’t know exactly how they generate it, maybe by burning coal!
