Re: Will the next German election be a referendum (none / 0)

looking forward to your diary regarding brunsbüttel. heard just today in the news that vattenfall did not report (ie, lied about) an accident when explicitly asked by the government/regulating agency/whatever authority for 5 days.

on topic, jerome is absolutely right that changing the demand side of the equation is absolutely critical. with regard to nuclear powered electricity in germany, buying ökostrom is the way to go.

Nuclear electricity is ökostrom.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

For a broad definition of öko.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

it may be more ecological than burning coal, but it's still not öko, in a sense that it is sustainable.

Yes, and that was a repeat offense. I was pleased to see that this was reported even in the Teletext short versions of the news, even on private TV.
