From Stark:
In the wake of the ongoing crisis at aging Japanese nuclear plants, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced an indefinite shutdown of seven nuclear power plants that date from before 1980, Reuters reports.
Industrialists quoted in the story express fears that this move is politically motivated and could harm the German economy, which gets about one-fourth of its power supply from nukes. Merkel’s action caused power prices to rise in Germany.
Since the crisis in Japan, there have been rather large protests and public demonstrations against nuclear power in Germany. So, it isn’t too far fetched to assume that Merkel’s actions may indeed be politically motivated.
Yes, the politics of seeing the writing on the wall.
Persoanlly, I’m getting sick of Obama kowtowing to the idiots on the right and the big business thickwads…
Of course I am not going to vote for any loser on the right, but I am not running to the polls WITH HOPE AND AUDACITY IN MY HEART to re-elect him either…once they get in they always turn into puppets of the money man
