Germany to shut all nuclear reactors, a move North America should follow ?

So now where will they get their power from ?
Coal or oil ? Two much more dangerous when burnt.

Nope, I suspect mostly from Solar Energy, like the German City of Freiburg does.
They are already the world's second largest manufacturer of them, and probably will surpass China and become #1.
And they will probably make them more sophistcated and high-tech, too.

They will get it done.

What no wind turbines?
Oh, I guess they heard what happened in the UK this past winter, the darn things froze. Just when the country needed the extra power, there was none.

PAYERNE, Switzerland — A solar plane with wings as wide as a 747 and the power of a small motorboat took to the skies for the first time Wednesday, cruising a mile high at low speeds for nearly 1½ hours in a step toward becoming the first sun-powered aircraft to circle the world.

In its maiden test flight, "Solar Impulse" — designed by Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard's team — completed a series of turns, slip maneuvers and bank angles reaching 5 degrees. Most importantly, it proved able to take off and land.
The team plans to fly it around the world in 2012, the goal being to show that renewable energy can replace fossil fuel.

Until you see them lined up at a gate at an airport near you, it's just somebody's "flight of fancy".

People are always leery until it's a hit and usable by all.

Moreluck,

why do republicans believe that depending on oil ( a disappearing resource) is the only way forward? Why are republicans against trying new concepts, developing an effective use and making it affordable and reliable for consumers as a way to reduce our dependancy on oil?

You couldnt possibly believe that all new ideas have to be a "hit" right off the bat right? Time determines the success of anything. We have to start somewhere.

How do the republicans get a person like you to go against your own self interests with such conviction?

Peace.

I won't budge an "inch"!!!!

Just continue taking your medication in ml's and grams/miligrams.
You should get your pharmacy to make them extra for you in mini ounces or whatever they can do for you.
