[edit] Initial article & expansion

This article was initially salvaged from version of the Nuclear power phase-out article, prior to it's merger into Nuclear energy policy. It requires expansion to reflect the non-phase-out aspects of Germany nuclear power. A further articles on Energy policy of Germany and Renewable energy in Germany would be interesting too, if someone has the time and knowledge to make a start. See the series on UK energy for ideas... Gralo 14:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Energy policy of Germany started with translation from Deutsche Energiewirtschaft? Gralo 22:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if any of you will find this of any help: -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WHY

Not once in this article is there any mention of WHY they are phasing out nuclear power - the reasons are almost assumed. Could someone please expand the article to include a discussion of why this policy of nuclear phase-out is being followed. Honestly it makes no sense to me whatsoever, so I would like to see what the different sides in Germany are saying about it.

Germany's Green party formed before global warming was the major environmental issue, and maintains an antinuclear stance for historical reasons. The phase-out was adopted as a political deal with the Greens so that a coalition government could be formed with their assistance. Ordinary Person (talk) 02:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Garbled sentence

Currently the article reads:

Energy may have to be imported from France's nuclear power facilities, no small irony, Russian natural gas, despite the fact that Russia is still not perceived as a safe partner in much of Western Europe.

This sentence does not appear to make sense, but I can't correct it since I don't quite know what it means. Ordinary Person (talk) 02:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar

This article reads, in places, like a poor translation. It needs to be grammatically corrected throughout. (added grammar template) TestUser001 (talk) 12:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
