from a 2008tish discussion with Subman:

Interesting movie (in English) about a research by the University of Kassel/Germany: "Is it possible to supply Germany around-the-clock with 100% power from renewable energies?"
I also remember a seminar back in 2002 at university held by a judge from the Higher Administrative Court NRW about "The legal conditions for a withdrawal from nuclear power".
So the idea is not that new in Germany. The political decision to pull out from nuclear energy was already made in the late 80ties after Chernobyl.
"New paths encounter new risks but also new opportunities"(blah).
