"Fukushima Means: No More Nuclear Power Stations.".

EXCERPTS ONLY --

Polls show the ecologist Greens, spurred by anti-nuclear sentiment in the country, could make history and garner enough votes with the opposition Social Democrats (SPD) to govern with Germany's first-ever Green state premier.


Hailing the protests as "Germany's biggest ever demonstration against nuclear power," Ausgestrahlt said, "the government's answer must be to turn the reactors off."

Curd Knuefer, 26, a Berlin student, said that in a context where majority public opinion had long been hostile to nuclear energy the Fukushima accident had been a wake-up call.

"We need to learn the lessons of Japan: nothing is impossible," said one placard.

----------------------------------------

As the scientists told us back in '92 -- there is no way to know how Global Warming

will compound --

Global Warming is bringing horrific changes in weather systems/patterns - and it will increase

earthquakes and the severity of earthquakes. Possibly also volcanic activity.

"Climate Change" is the Frank Luntz substitute suggested to W Bush in 2002 --

However, Global Warming makes clear that what we are talking about is HEAT -- the heating

of the atmopshere which produces chaotic weather.

Certainly nuclear reactors weren't a good idea at any time -- but they're an even worse idea

now --
