Herman Cain's got a German nuclear power plant to sell you

Herman Cain's got a revamped website going, so you can see his positions and give him money. Among those positions is his take on energy policy:

From the oil-rich states of Louisiana and Alaska to the mighty dams along rivers across the states, the options for many forms of energy are real and plenty. Still, liberals continue to perpetuate the misunderstanding that the high energy consumption of a thriving nation and conservation of our precious planet are at odds with one another.

The illustration, as you can see, is a photo of a steaming nuclear plant. Thanks to TinEye, I can tell you that the nuclear plant appears to be Isar-2, in Germany. After the Fukushima disaster, the German government decided to close all of its nuclear plants by 2022, including the one Herman Cain is using to sell you on the idea of nuclear power. What looks to be the original picture was taken last year by @bagalute, on Flickr. It's after the jump.
