Angela Merkel's cabinet approved a plan to cut greenhouse gases by 80 percent between now and 2050. They will use renewable energy and energy efficiency. It bolsters Germany’s pace-setting role in addressing climate change. The catch is that nuclear fission (free of carbon emissions) is included as a "bridge."
Greenpeace and others mobilized 100,000 in the street to protest the nuclear component.
