Re: Germany renounces nuclear power - historic agreement

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@hotmail.com>]

If 81% of Germans favor nuclear power, why is the government negotiating to 
phase it out?  Or is it like the U. S., where Congress passes legislation 
whose impact is not felt for a decade or more (I.e. "not on their watch")?

----
I think that part of the answer is that these reactors have to be 
successively phased out anyway. A problem is where the replcement should 
come from. It will be interesting to see the next dry Swedish summer (less 
hydro power) followed by a cold winter (northern Europe) when some focus 
will be on the price of the Russian electricity...

My most personal reflection only,
