The meltdown could have been prevented had safeguards been put in place to save the plant from the resulting effects of the earthquake. The NRC has been hard at work in implementing the recommendations to prevent that here, by implementing those safeguards, that is what the article speaks about.
It may be fud, but it is accurate fud.
First of all selfishness, especially in the way Rand describe it, is not good. It is a means to escape repercussions for the persons action.
Second this person was not selfish in any way, he shared his ideas with this team, he did not have to do this.. The greed AND selfishness came from the team.
Well, and I am neutral on the Obama thing, he could just tell the DEA to change tact, that is his job.
So the question becomes does he know about it or not. If not lets make him aware, if he does than he approves of it by the mere act of letting it proceed this way.
His job as CiC is to know what his government is doing, and making sure it does things right.
using a phone at at a light to talk is legal in my state. Also you dont know that he is ignoring other issues you are just speculating, and throwing fallacies.
A 5 second delay can cause hours of traffic jams for those behind them, so no, the economic cost is greater than you make it out to be, and more than the cost of the ticket.
That is not even remotely the same thing. Selective enforcement means choosing whether to enforce a law or not, that is a judgement call as to which crime takes precedence in enforcing.
How do you know people doing this are not causing problems? It is very easy to see that they do in cases cause issues, ranging from not going when the light turns green causing jams, to not paying attention to other issues. I would rather have cops that do not selectively enforce the law, but treats everyone equally, then the DA office can use judgement as to whether it should be dropped or not. That serves society better.
yes, I will tell it to people who are idiots in keeping their plant operations. Would you also like me to tell New Orleans that it is OK to live on a river or near an ocean?
Except that when you get the fuel you can use it for a long time to generate massive amounts of power. You can even reenrich it now so you dont have to replace it.
Also under what metric do you consider nuclear more toxic than carbon based fuels? When you take into account all the snasties it makes carbon way more toxic
Even in renweables there are many toxics that make it not so nice.
And there IS a reason, the tech is not there to support it without the cost that makes it completely prohibitive and the space to to support the entire populace.
And in North Dakota, the opposite thing is happening. We can't all have everything, we need to select the best and least toxic way to fuel our country's demand for energy and pursue it. The Mainiacs would be screaming twice as loud if the nuclear plant had suffered an event that released even modest levels of radioactivity into their pristine environment. They should be celebrating - they gambled, they won. (Except for the multi billion dollar cleanup, even without a meltdown.)
Except that Nuclear is still the best solution if you are talking about the least toxic, unless you ignore all the fracking, and greenhouse emissions, and other issues that comes with burning carbon fuels. Renewable is not there yet to support the people.

It is not just the earthquake that caused the meltdown, it was poorly designed safeguards against the earthquake.
We dont have to spend money to hit the debt ceiling, our debt will do it for us, damn interest.
You do know that they do not distribute copyrighted material, right?
I think he fairly clearly showed that it is neutral.
even if android was sluggish, which it isnt, it still would not be worth the crap that is windows phone.

You dont have to demonstrate it works in public, you do it in private to the patent body.
because google is the only company that steels personal data from you? Every site you go to now a days seems to take it.
And the girl scouts?

I have taken my car to a dealership to test the speedometer and get a report of how much it is off, it has always worked for me.

So a "good" cop in your mind is one who selectively enforces the law, and not one who enforces it equally?
Good thing it is still 2k5 right? My Razr uses a standard cable.

not sure if you are disagreeing with me or not.

seems a little backwards there... More lawyers are republicans, and we know how republicans feel about all regulation.
No, a limited patent system is good for the economy, and does reward innovation, the problem is that the current system does neither.
