Germany’s power operators have requested that reserve generators at a power plant in southern Germany and two plants in Austria be activated because, well, the lights are fixin’ to go out here (it’s c-c-cold).
But don’t think for a moment that this has anything at all to do with eight of Germany’s 17 nuclear reactors having been switched off because of an earthquake in Japan last year because it doesn’t. You got that?
“We do not have a problem of supply, of quantity, it’s principally a question of stabilizing the network.”

As a German, I may be freezing mys arse off, but I still believe in global warming. But now the frickin’ Amis announce they’re going to build some new nuclear reactors?!
What don’t Americans understand about NEIN?
Stuttgart 21? NEIN!
Atomkraft? NEIN!
Google Streetview? NEIN!
Only stupid Americans could mess up something so simple.
Well, I hope the Amis are happy and that one day those reactors turn into FUK-YOU-SHIMA.

P.S. Um, this is for any Germans out there. Hey, I’m actually an American pretending to be a German and using humor to poke fun at … holy shite … something serious.
