Economics Minister Rainer Brüderle has said that the snap decision to temporarily shut down seven nuclear reactors in Germany in the wake of the disaster in Fukushima was motivated by campaign tactics ahead of state elections this weekend.No, no, no, this was motivated by Science!, just like the need to stop our use of incandescent light bulbs so we can make the temperature of the Earth go down.
It's hilarious watching politicians take preposterous positions to show concern for non-existent threats.
