Germany Considers Reversing Law to Phase Out Plants. By Judy Dempsey, NYTimes, October 13, 2009. "Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives want to prolong the life of Germany's nuclear reactors by overturning a law aimed at phasing out atomic energy by the 2020s, according to a party working document.
