Most Germans Want to Abandon Nuclear Power for Ever, Poll Finds

Berlin, April 28 (Bloomberg) -- A majority of Germans, or 60 percent, 
want the government to shut down the country's 19 nuclear power 
stations for ever, an Emnid research institute poll for television 
station N-TV showed. Two-thirds of around 1,000 Germans polled said 
they want the government and utilities to agree the closure. Thirty 
percent said the government should legislate to force utilities 
including Veba AG and RWE AG to close the power stations if agreement 
can't be reached. 

The government has said it expects to reach an accord with power 
companies on a timetable for phasing out nuclear power before 
parliament's summer recess in July.
