German industrial and engineering conglomerate Siemens is to withdraw entirely from the nuclear industry. The move is a response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March, chief executive Peter Loescher said.... "The chapter for us is closed," he said, announcing that the firm will no longer build nuclear power stations. A long-planned joint venture with Russian nuclear firm Rosatom will also be cancelled... Siemens was responsible for building all 17 of Germany's existing nuclear power plants.... He also gave his backing to the German government's planned switch to renewable energy sources, calling it a "project of the century" and claiming Berlin's target of reaching 35% renewable energy by 2020 was achievable. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced at the end of May that all of the country's 17 nuclear reactors would be shut down by 2022. Before the Fukushima disaster, nuclear power accounted for 23% of electricity production in Germany.

Meanwhile, here in America, in thrall to the Republican Death Cult, it's still drill, baby, drill and lies about "clean coal."
