It is really astonishing how intensively the German government rules past its own citizens. A survey of the ZDF, one of the biggest German TV stations, showed that 61% of the people asked were against longer run-times of nuclear plants. But the government led by a coalition of the conservative and liberal party prefers making great gifts to the energy providers and gives nuclear power a bright future again.
Unbelievable, but in 2008 the Secretary General of the conservative party (CDU), Pofalla, even said, that “for the CDU nuclear energy is eco-energy”. Confront this brainless politician now with the situation in the nuclear dump in Asse/Germany and the problems with the nuclear waste that no one knows how to solve. I am not sure, if this man, who unfortunately is one of the leaders in Germany right now, will ever understand that sustainability and nuclear power cannot go together.
