The World from Berlin: Nuclear Phaseout Is an 'Historic Moment' - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International. "This is nothing more and nothing less than a revolution in energy supply," said Chancellor Angela Merkel.
It was September 2010, and she was referring to her government's newly minted energy strategy. That plan included extending the operating lives of Germany's 17 nuclear plants, which had been scheduled to go offline by 2021. All of this had been intended to help Germany meet its ambitious goals for reducing climate-killing CO2 emissions. But on Monday, less than nine months later, the German government announced a new energy plan that could also be fairly described as a revolution -- even if it represents a 180-degree reversal of the administration's previous policy.
In marathon talks that went into the early hours of Monday, the government hammered out the details of its plans to phase out nuclear power. 'Great Opportunity' The commission delivered its findings to the government on Sunday afternoon, recommending that Germany phase out nuclear power by 2021.

Carbon — demonized by climate propaganda.
The PR machine has spent twenty years pretending to be scientific while they push poll the phrase “carbon is pollution” (Don’t you want to stop pollution?) But turn the polling inside out and the nonsense is exposed. Stephen Harper takes the PR team’s theme to its logical conclusion and uses it against them. Forget plate tectonics and continental drift. A trace gas in the atmosphere can reshape the Earth, at least, that’s apparently how many people see it. A new survey shows that over a third of the population think that climate change induces not just tsunamis, but even volcanic eruptions. About a quarter of the population are so plum-confused about what carbon is, they would rather not eat food with carbon in it. This is the unscientific bias of our national bureaucracies, institutions, and science communicators laid bare. Stephen Harper randomly questioned 100 people with one the most original, useful surveys I’ve seen yet.

Posted on 2 August 2010 by Daniel Bailey Guest post by Daniel Bailey As individuals, we learn through hard experience in our lives how to make choices. Over time we learn to make optimal choices, that is, choices based on as much evidence as possible that will then lead to the best possible result. That is essentially the scientific method in action. In science, when evaluating all the available evidence, the theory that best explains what the data shows is usually the best choice. A small number of people meeting to make a choice usually do so by discussing the various points that matter most to each, usually leading to a quick resolution and decision.
When a large number of people come together to make a decision about something, however, chaos can ensue. In committees, choices are made by the input of the group of people comprising the committee. This arrangement has worked quite well for most bodies of people in the world throughout history. Let us consider an example of that.
