Radical greens are using the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan as an excuse to peddle their wacko, pet theories and push for more stringent environmental regulation. Such efforts literally ship U.S. jobs overseas.

One way is to make everything else so distasteful that the greenie wackos will be forced to accept nucs as the only alternative to all the failed green projects, the cessation of drilling, and the carbon economy/job killing nonsense.

Obama now really has a problem. His long term solution process is in jeopardy by those to whom he owes allegiance but is working against.
