  the 15 year long step

  I must agree with Steve T.

  This "Green" period should not be some fad period. If we assume that things are going to change within a year, we are wrong.

  I grew up in Germany and since I've been a kid have been confronted with environmental issues. They are a step ahead of us, but that one step was probably about 15 years long!On Turns out consumers don't care that much posted 2 years, 4 months ago 9 Responses

  Hopefully re-inforces Germany to get out of nukes!

  Hi,

  I'm a 28-year-old German living in Canada and I still watch the daily news from Germany. I was actually just watching the news about this incident, when I received your blog update on this topic.

  The one good thing about this incident, is that they will shut down the Vattenfall power plant, because there was a dispute on weather they should or should not keep this plant running.

  Further, this will also re-encourage Germany to keep their deadline of shutting all of Germany's nuclear power plants down by 2016 (I'm not quite sure what the actual date is anymore, but they had one set at one time).

  I'm still so surprised that Canada is just building a new power plant, which is going to be ready by the time that Germany has intended to shut it's last nuclear power plant down by!!!

  Just an interesting observation...

  Cheers,
