"...monitor where technology and resources needed to reproduce it go."
That's the problem. This technology would not be easily tracked or monitored. Enriching uranium is the stepping stone to making bombs. The US is already up in arms over Iran's uranium enrichment program. US claims it's for bombs, Iran claims it's for energy. How do you verify?
Republicans in Congress won't let them. Even when one of their own, Defense Secretary Gates recommended cancelling various weapons programs because they are no longer suited for battles the military would be fighting and there were better, cheaper alternatives, he got shot down.
Do you have an examples that involve nuclear power plants? I love how you use non nuclear power plant example to prove your argument but in fact have nothing to support the claim when it comes to modifications to nuclear power plants do to regulations.
As it happens, the NRC did find fault with fukushima reactor built by GE back in the '60s. But GE did not want to make changes to the design that would make it safer because of cost. NRC could not force GE to make the change, so GE didn't, the rest is history.
Actually renewable energy is delivering. The problem is, red tape is blocking wide spread adoption. The other problem: we have ancient electrical grid which needs to be upgraded. No mater where your energy comes from, whether it be nuclear, coal, solar, wind, the electrical grid does not possess the capacity to handle the increased demand.
The grid needs updating and no one is talking about that.
Because the United States does so well at punishing corporations....."0.0025 percent of corporate revenue on average is spent on information-technology security"
We have a problem. It's not hyperbole. It's something that needs to be taken seriously. Agreed we don't need to exponentially increase the defense budget in the name of cyber security but we do need to make it a priority and we do need to get corporations that control our infrastructure to invest in security.

Considering you haven't actually used a Surface, those are some pretty amazing numbers. Anybody remember the Zune? Me neither....
Oooo it's the betamax versus vhs war again.....
Yeah I also hear Ford sells more cars than Mercedes.....
LMOL - Surface, yeah real game changer *eye roll* - people said the same thing about Nokia and Windows Mobile 7. How's that working out for you....
"Okay, it doesn't have everything that the iPad has..."
You've just answered your own question. The only people getting nervous is Microsoft with its continued march to irrelevance.
You do realize that photons can penetrate clouds....
He had a Twitter account. That's not private. If he didn't want contact from yahoos then he should, eliminate the twitter account or restrict access.
Parents say alot worse at kids baseball games!
Yeah because Watts doesn't have an agenda *eye roll*
The fact that your not a scientist and yet feel compelled to comment on research is truly amazing. Bonus points for commenting as a coward.

Perhaps you should do some research.

It is when you haven't paid for it.
Yeah because it's not like nuclear reactors don't have a life span *eye roll*
Earthquakes are not rare events. Japan suffers earthquakes regularly. It was the earthquake not the tsunami, that caused the damage.
It was the earthquake that caused the damage. Something that Japan suffers regularly. The reactor was built on a fault line. Not smart.

You might want to do research before posting.

Because that worked so well before......
Let's see he took out Osama Bin Ladin who is responsible for deaths of 2,996 Americans.
There is no political will to take on the Financial Services Industry. It's not simply the President, it's Congress as well.
You're conflating national security with corporate malfeasance. The two are not the same.

Somewhere in there there's a coherent thought...you just need to work on it a little.
In the '80s the United States sent oil pipeline controls with a trojan in it to the Soviet Union....it's not far fetched.
