   "“Clearly, what Fukushima changed in France is that now, people know   
   about nuclear energy,” says Greenpeace France campaigner Sophia   
   Majnoni. Majnoni says the accident in Japan, plus the upcoming French   
   presidential election, has triggered a national debate. "   
      
   The incumbent pro-nuclear president lost the second round election,   
   (May 5-6, 2012), to Socialist candidate Hollande, who has stated.   
   "“I’m focussed over 15 to 20 years on reducing the share of nuclear   
   power in the electricity supply from 75 to 50%,” Hollande says, “while   
   at the same time increasing renewable energy.”"   
      
   Thanks to the Internet, people around the globe are waking up to the   
   fact, that depending nuclear power is an exceptionally risky bet, with   
   extreme consequences when containment fails.
