Sadly in Japan there has been a lot of corruption and coverups before the accident. The containment vessels may not be as sound as expected.
Wonderful to know our tax money goes to agencies like the Dept of Energy and Int Automic Energy Agency who essentially spend billions and do nothing. They should have had a SWAT team to get gas turbine generators to Japan to get those cooling pumps going by the second day. yeah it would be miving heaven and earth but the alternative is what is happening now.
Based on the crocodile tears - at least one fo the containment vessels must have been breached. I hope it is not the MOX one.
Never let another energy independence crisis got to waste.
It strikes me as if Palin has a good realist’s understanding of how to deal with these energy companies, which is that you’ve got to have and encourage them but keep right on top of them with forceful regulatory oversight. The risk/reward profile of their business makes it a moral hazard for management to be left unchecked.
It’s too bad they turned down your suggestions. When were they submitted? And why do you think Japan isn’t capable of having gas turbine generators?
