If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...


Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. 
The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.


 Deuteronomy 5:9 
"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."

 Closing nuclear plants will also exacerbate global warming because the share of electricity generated from fossil fuels will rise from 61 to 70 per cent, and because energy-intensive businesses, ranging from bulk chemicals to many aspects of car assembly, will move to countries where electricity is cheaper and dirtier, such as Poland or China.Yet Germany’s nuclear U-turn will probably strengthen its economy in the long term and help to wean the world off fossil fuels. For alongside the destruction of its nuclear industry, Germany also committed itself this week to an enormous programme of subsidies and investment in wind, solar and other renewable energy sources. And the Germans are legislating to support the renewable energy sector with substantial electricity surcharges, subsidies, planning reforms and public research funds designed to double the share of power generated by renewables to 35 per cent by 2020 and much more beyond.All these interventions may smack of discredited economic concepts such as “picking winners”, even socialist central planning. But this is why they are likely to strengthen the renewable energy sector in Germany at the expense of countries where government interference with market forces remains taboo.Energy supply is an industry where investment returns take decades to materialise, so private companies and investment institutions, responding purely to the financial markets, are unlikely to make decisions consistent with long-term needs.
