German nuclear power plant extension talked

Because Germany wants to keep headed down the road toward carbon emissions reductions, AND because there is not any feasible way to do that if they shut down their nuclear plants by 2020 (the current schedule), talks are underway to extend the plants by 2-12 years. This is necessary, no matter what the protesting Greenies think. I don't know how much electricity Deutschland can expect from that Sahara solar plant, but I seriously doubt it would be enough.
