Der Spiegel's Analysis of Fukushima
Der Spiegel calls Fukushima the end of the nuclear era and the 9/11 of the nuclear industry. Among the constantly changing conditions at Fukushima, this analysis will, in my opinion, stand the test of time.
I do hope Der Spiegel (and you) are correct. Germany was at the forefront of a drive towards a renewable energy nation until the nuclear industry managed to 'persuade' certain politicians to support them. Merkel has been very much on the fence over the issue since.
