Germany -- Insane Or Just Plain Stupid?

Germany -- Insane Or Just Plain Stupid?: After the tsunami destroyed the Fukushima plants, Germany moved quickly to shut eight nuclear power plants, and made plans do away completely with their nuclear capability. Despite the best safety record of any industry in the country, and the critical role nuclear plays in fueling German industry, Germany?s past experience with large tsunamis was just too horrific to ignore. And Germany?s strong economy and commitment to protect the environment were small prices to pay for Chancellor Merkel to shore up her weak coalition with the Greens. Maybe she can ask Greece for help later.
