BERLIN, March 17 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday she will present a clear timeline for a faster shift in policy towards renewable energy sources in the light of the Japanese nuclear crisis.
The centre-right chancellor said she was working with French President Nicolas Sarkozy on initiatives for safer nuclear power in the G20 and said the problem of storing nuclear waste could not be left to future generations, but had to be dealt with now.
