And how is this insightful? Come ON... this is a troll if I ever saw one. Commies?. Dude, you should read a paper now and again, or watch the news on telly. Whereas I could possibly see a point in saying that they're not cutting down on carbon emissions by replacing nuclear with gas, you fail to understand that the Germans don't like nuclear. They think its a very bad idea and they have some pretty good points arguing so (mainly to do with waste disposal). And yes, they are probably making themselves more dependent on Russian gas supplies, which has its risks, but then again we're all dependent on fuel supplies from potentially risky 'partners' and Russia seems no worse than any of the others.

If by discovery of aliens you mean any non earth-based life form, its a matter of sending dirt-scooping robots around the solar system and you're bound to find 'alien' bacteria or similar creatures.
