ANDECHS, Germany (AFP) German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Saturday that 2022 was "a good time" for Germany to end nuclear power, backing a proposal by the Bavarian wing of her party.

She also announced a moratorium for the same period of an earlier decision by her government to extend the lifetime of Germany's 17 reactors by an average of 12 years.

I think the Sun was shinning only about 20% of the time. I spent 31 months in Germany, Nov, '59 to June '62, and the sun did very little shining. Summers were very cool.
