Protesters targeted nuclear facilities across Germany to protest the use of nuclear power in Germany. In recent years the Easter protests have been against war's in the mid-east and elsewhere. This year the crisis in Japan has sparked the ongoing efforts of the Green Party to end the use of nuclear energy. The party was successful in assuming the political leadership of one of the German states in a recent election. The state had been under conservative control for 58 years. Merkel has changed her mind about nuclear energy as a result. She temporarily closed 7 older plants and ordered inspections of many others. She said Japan changed everything.
