Having a hundred million pounds of toxic waste for a hundred life times is NOT the `Green Solution'
You mentioned about the ships captain dumping toxic waste into the San Francisco bay, when he was supposed to drop it into the ocean... I would like to know the name of the idiot that ordered it to be put in the ocean in the first place.... I am guessing that this idiot has never been in the ocean, or is aware of where fish come from... the odds are it was another brain dead bureaucrat wanting to save money... as I said originally, the greedy and stupid run the system.

Germany to mothball nuke power
Agence France-Presse May 30, 2011
Germany on Monday announced plans to become the first major industrialized power to shut down all its nuclear plants in the wake of the disaster in Japan, with a phase-out due to be wrapped up by 2022.
Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen announced the decision by the centre-right coalition, which was prompted by the crisis at Japan's Fukushima plant, in the early hours of Monday morning, describing it as "irreversible".
"After long consultations, there is now an agreement by the coalition to end nuclear energy," he told reporters after seven hours of negotiations into the small hours at Chancellor Angela Merkel's offices.
"This decision is consistent, decisive and clear."
Germany has 17 nuclear reactors on its territory, eight of which are currently off the electricity grid.
Seven of those offline are the country's oldest nuclear reactors, which the federal government shut down for three months pending a safety probe after the Japanese atomic emergency at Fukushima that began in March.
The eighth is the Kruemmel plant, in northern Germany, which has been mothballed for years because of technical problems.
Monday's decision made Germany the first major industrial power to announce plans to give up atomic energy entirely. But it also means that the country will have to find the 22 per cent of its electricity needs currently covered by reactors.
