Reply #11: I wouldn't call it stupidity [View All]

The Greens started as a civil rights movement, as the state had a tendency to disregard individual rights when it came to nuclear power.

Then: there was no increase of nuclear plants in the 90s. What happened was an increase of productivity - they tuned their engines. The same thing is still happening BTW, the production is still rising (with a minor hitch, when several plants were down for maintenance).
The reported number of security breaches is rising accordingly; not too long ago the Philippsburg plant was caught: they had disabled their emergency shutdown system.

There are a few facts:
1) No energy company is willing or able to build new nuclear plants
2) Anyone not blinded by fancy 60s technology can see that the German plants are rustbucketts.

Ideology is never a good basis to solve problems. That the pro-nukes folks are starting to overtake the greens in the ideology department ... who would have guessed?
