Germany is to shut its entire nuclear power network over safety fears triggered by the meltdown of the Fukushima atomic plant in Japan.

Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that her country will pull the plug on nuclear energy by 2022.

Germany – a country without natural gas or oil supplies and virtually no domestic coal industry left – is the biggest industrial power to give up nuclear energy.

Partido Kalikasan Commentary:

Partido Kalikasan ‎(Phil Green Party) welcomes this development in Germany. Our congratulations also to the German Greens who have pushed the phase-put of nuclear power in Germany for a long time. We hope this will further encourage anti-nuc...lear constituencies in the Philippines to continue to oppose nuclear energy program in the country. We are mobilizing on June 11 3pm-730pm as part of the JUNE 11 ACTION- NO NUCLEAR! -- a global solidarity campaign initiated by Japanese anti nuke campaigners being supported by the Asia Pacific Greens Network (APGN). This is 3 months after the ongoing Fukushima nuclear disaster began. Local PK groups nationwide will organize various mass actions. YOU ARE INVITED.
