Four German News Stories

 1.  There is a good piece in WELT today, if you can find a copy at the newsstand....written by Daniel Wezel.  Topic?  Japan quitting nuke power after Fukushima?  NO.  

Japan is going right back at the nuke technology for power plants, and it's begging the question if Germany made the right decision about zero nuke power.  Article is worth a read.

2.  The FDP Party is pointing out that a number of natural gas providers are NOT in financial trouble (they managed the escalating prices well), and therefore....should not be getting any of the 'levy' (new tax) money.

How many companies in this good position?  Unknown.  

3.  There's supposed to be a decision announced today whether the Lubcke murder trial was correctly handled by the Frankfurt court.  I should note, the end result for this case was guilty, with life-imprisonment. 

4.  On Tuesday evening....in the Chunnel (between the UK and France), the railway broke down.  So passengers waited, a 'rescue' train came in, and 400 folks had to be taken by a second train.
