Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany has announced the closure of seven of her nation's 17 nuclear power plants. This decision either is evidence of hysteria in the government, or evidence of pandering to popular hysteria by the government, or evidence that nuclear energy is so dangerous that an accident in a nuclear plant in Japan (after a 9.0 earthquake and a 25 foot tsunami) can fry the brain of political leaders half way around the world.
