Environmental activists and demonstrators march in Rennes, western France, Saturday, March 17, 2007. Thousands of people filled the streets of five French cities Saturday to protest plans to build the next generation of nuclear reactors — fuel-efficient but seen by anti-nuclear activists as a relaunching of France's nuclear energy program. Banner reads 'Yes to alternative solution against Nuclear'. (AP Photo/David Vincent)

So they don't want coal or gas energy, they don't want nuclear energy, and they don't want to pay for solar and wind (which in France is not as feasible to carry out as in someplace like Texas anyway). Basically, they want to go back to the dark ages. I say let them go.

A new pinglist, so if you're interested....

	pan-Europe pinglist.* This pinglist covers a broad range of topics relating to Europe: culture, current events, politics, science, history, arts, etc. Warning: This could be a high volume pinglist. Note: This pinglist covers--but not as much--Eastern Europe. There is already a moderate volume pinglist for that region. Ping if you see a pertinent thread.
*To get on or off this list, freepmail with the subjects Europe on or Europe off . No message is necessary. To get on or get off this pinglist, freepmail here, with the appropriate subject.
There is also a: pan-Africa pinglist. pan-Asia pinglist. pan-Latin America pinglist. John 3:16 (New King James Version): "16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
This pinglist can terminate at any time, without notice.

You will note that even Royal is not enough of a moonbat to come out against.

The nation must "get out of the nuclear business" and "invest in renewable energies like solar energy or wind power," said Olivier Besancenot of the Radical Communist League

Good luck with that, comrade.

Dumb bastard frogs protesting the single thing that they are ding right. Stupid frogs!

[Dallas59]

All I can say is...LOL!

The only warm guy in France 3 years hence.

The heavy use on Nuclear power is about the only the things the Frogs have gotten right. Yet, their lefties now want them to regress to wind and solar power. Back to the 12th century eh guys?

[MistrX]

Lefties are same around the world.

Stupid.

Future business as a destination for amateur astronomers seeking dark skies.

Police estimated the crowd at 10,000.

That's not a lot of people. Sort of the the equivilant of a late season, weeknight baseball game when your team is 20 games out and the opponent is also 20 games out.

And people are paying for the baseball game.

What? No mention of Iranian nucs!!

"get out of the nuclear business" and "invest in renewable energies like solar energy or wind power,"

They will quickly run out of enough electricity to light their salon gatherings, right after they run out of money to build anything anymore.

The millions of anti-science, anti-technology, anti-capitalist moonbats that infest Western countries will not stop until the entire earth looks like rural Bangladesh.

Nothing like cutting your own throat. They get 80% of their electricity from nuclear. They've spent decades building the infrastructure to not only be self-sufficient in electricity generation, but an exporter of electricity to surrounding nations. And they want to throw that away? Sounds like killing the goose that laid the golden egg to have a turkey dinner (or maybe a dinner for turkeys).

I seem to recall that when Mitterrand first campaigner he was mildly on board the anti-nuclear bandwagon. Within a year of taking office he was firmly back in the pro-nuclear camp. I think the trade unions had something to do with that. Socialist that he was, he knew what side of his bread was buttered.
