The Nuclear Question - Why the pros and contras of nuclear power are under debate in Germany
The subject should be done and dusted. The governing coalition agreed that Germany's last nuclear power station will be turned off in 2021. But that was always a bitter pill for Chancellor Angela Merkel and her conservatives. At a time of rising fuel prices and a nuclear renaissance, the subject looks set to be an election issue. German scientists at the atomic research centre in Karlsruhe are surprised. They are currently working to develop the super nuclear power station of the future. Even if it will only be built abroad.
