G8 needs a gee up
8 July 20091Presseurop
The EFSF was meant to save the single currency. And yet it has found no buyers. Investors are shying away from a complicated, uncertain financial product whose weaknesses the politicians are trying to cover up. 
The world will soon be divided into those seeking a green high-tech future, such as Germany – and those who are trying to make nuclear energy safer. A sign of progress on the evolutionary road to a less risky society. 
In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, Presseurop published an endorsement of nuclear power by Guardian columnist and environmentalist author George Monbiot. In a direct rebuttal, German author and physicist Ralf Bönt denounces what he considers the cynicism of nuclear energy's proponents. 
The accident at the Fukushima power station has exposed the limits of nuclear power, while showing that it's not quite as dangerous as we think. In the absence of credible alernatives, nuclear remains remains the most viable energy source. Such is the surprising opinion of leading environmentalist author, George Monbiot. 
The Fukushima disaster is driving European countries to test the safety of their nuclear plants and to shut them down. Prudence, or the panic button? The European press is leaning towards the latter. 
The accident at the Japanese nuclear power station is worrying Europe. Are our own power stations safe? Should be relinquish this form of energy? The press offers contrasting points of view. 
With several countries preparing bond issues and subjecting them to the “test of the markets,” the next few days will be decisive for the future of the euro. As the European press explains, we’ll shortly have a clear measure of market confidence in the capacity of the most fragile countries of the Eurozone to put their finances in order, as well as on the future stability of the single currency. 
Currently under discussion in Agadir, the ban on whaling continues to divide the international community. Die Welt argues that the ironclad protection demanded for the cetaceans by most European countries is evidence of a quasi-religious conception of ecology. 
Instead of paying developing countries to combat global warming, it would make more sense to help them to the latest know-how, argue two Dutch researchers. 
Pigeon racing has become a big money sport where the sums at stake can reach several million euros. Trainers of Belgian pigeons, much sought after in Asia, have now become the target of mafia crimes.
Pirate attacks and hijackings off the Somali coast have received widespread media attention. Less is said, however, about the European trawlers "looting" Africa's territorial waters, hurting local fishermen. Die Welt calls it piracy in another form. 
The world is on the verge of a new era of space exploration, instigating a space race fiercer in rivality than that between America and the Soviet Union in the 1960’s. The major surprise, the Independent reports, is that this time round even environmentalists are backing it. 
Haphazard organization, inconsistent agenda, the Italian PM’s derelict leadership: the G8 now getting under way in L'Aquila, Italy, is the object of widespread and acerbic criticism. “The summit is no longer representative of the current economic scene,” objects Brazilian president Lula in an interview with Le Monde. More generally, the European press wonders whether the G8 still serves any purpose at all.
