Greenpeace urges Spain to shut reactors after Japan quake

AFP reports:
Greenpeace urged the Spanish government Sunday to stick to its promise to close Spain's six nuclear power plants in the wake of a feared meltdown of two reactors in quake-hit Japan.
Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero vowed during general elections in 2004 and 2008 to gradually phase out nuclear power when the lifespan of the country's six nuclear plants expired.
Greenpeace isn't big on any form of energy.
