Protesters battle French riot cops, torch van

ANTI-NUCLEAR protesters battled with riot police in France in a bid to stop a train of nuclear waste heading for Germany.
The authorities used tear gas and brute force, but the environmentalists managed to sabotage part of the railway and torch a police vehicle.
The French state is refusing to end its nuclear operations, even after the Fukushima disaster and the horrific after-effects.
The shipment from the French nuclear giant Areva's reprocessing plant at La Hague is the last planned to Germany.
Similar protests are expected along the whole route - the last convoy in 2010 was blocked for three hours in Caen and one night in Germany.

Comrade Helen Cauldicott Scientist Against Nuclear Atomic Power Plants.

These Nuclear Fission Atomic Power plants are in truth 'failed twentieth century technology' that are 24/7 poisoning the planets livability, plants, animals, peoples, air, land and water, which is the entire livability of the planet. It is only the atomic companies propaganda that it is clean fuel. These Nuclear plants must be shut down and never opened again. Much of the fissonable material is polluting literally for thousand, millions, and billions of years.
Such energy is killing the possiblity of the planets ecological, organic, web-of-life to go forward and uplift earths' forward life. It is going to happen wherever they are placed that sooner or later they will destroy the worlds environment. That is deep and wide destruction from the waste. No we must shut down these destroyers of the planets life.
Viva socialist liberation. Re-tool to the renewables such as wind, tidal, and solar power which transforms to electricity and is more power than can be used by society. No more blackouts. This non-pollution solution is given freely in natures kinder laws and provides work for all and forever more.
