So many plans! Let’s begin with pimping our Tumblr-Blog. Anyone out there who’s a geek in this?

All Nuclear Plants in Germany to Close 2022.
But in the wake of the Fukushima crisis, Merkel announced the temporary closure of seven of the nuclear plants. Now, after another wave of anti-nuclear-power demonstrations, Merkel said that those plants would remain closed, that there would be no extensions and that all remaining plants would be shut down by 2022.
“Our energy system has to be changed profoundly,” she said. “It must be safer, more reliable and economically viable.”
“We believe that we can show those countries who decide to abandon nuclear power — or not to start using it — how it is possible to achieve growth, creating jobs and economic prosperity while shifting the energy supply toward renewable energies,” she said. - (TheWashingtonPost)
Due to the countless anti-nuclear power rallies that have crossed Germany for the past few months in the wake of the Japan disaster, many people in the government have established that this is the correct thing to do, and to temporarily close 7 out of 14 nuclear plants until they can find a better alternative to cleaner green energy.

You see, United States, it isn’t all that bad. Instead of bringing up the potential problems here (because this country isn’t liked) in defense of a nuclear disaster, we’re completely doomed. The NRC has named many western plants to be unsafe. Should the American people fight against nuclear power for our own good?

We have selected 100 unique places on Earth that are projected to
undergo profound changes within the next few generations.
We based our selection of the 100 places on the 4th Assessment
Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Simply by drawing attention to the beauty of these places, 100 Places to
Remember Before they Disappear creates an argument to preserve
them.
The 100 Places we have chosen to highlight, and the people who
live in them, are in serious danger because of rising sea levels, rising
temperatures and extreme weather events triggered by climate change.
