Industry, labor, foes sound off during hearing on nuclear waste - 1 views

  •  
    Not often carry out nuclear industry executives and hardline activists who be against them agree on anything. Mutually the two hates the thought of continuing to stockpile highly radioactive waste the reactor cores of nuclear power plants on the site of each power-generating station. An hour-long hearing held December 2, 2013 drew almost 200 people from Ohio and Michigan to the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg's Levis Commons was a reminder that both sides are still far apart on what the government's next step should be. Although it would mean putting up with the waste decades longer than expected, industry and trade unions eventually want a single, national repository. Failure to develop a solution is reason enough to shut down the industry; this is the antinuclear activists claim to the government. Nuclear power provides 20 percent of America's electricity. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government agency that oversees the nuclear industry, learned a lot of information, the 11th stop on the agency's 12-city tour in which it ought to do just that: Get a cross section of opinions. As an answer to the government's decision to unfinished plans for a national repository in Nevada's Yucca Mountain, the NRC has been asking Americans about their thoughts regarding the agency's proposed "waste confidence" rule and its affiliated environmental impact statement,. As a consequence, the NRC is inquiring what the public's thoughts concerning leaving the waste where it is, at least for the time being.

Little options of Saudis as they push tougher foreign policy - 1 views

  •

Disappointed with the United States from constructing tactical relations with other world powers to thrusting a tougher line in opposition to Iranian allies in the Arab world and, in an instance that the world powers be unsuccessful to foil Tehran's nuclear objectives, even looking for its own atomic bomb so senior Saudis have expected at a range of possibilities. However substitute powers are tough even to think for a nation that has been holding back to U.S. ally for decades. Russia is on the conflicting side against Riyadh concerning the Syrian war and China's military clout is still modest as compared with the United States'. Robert Jordan, U.S. ambassador to Riyadh from 2001-03, said there would be limits to any Saudi alliances with other powers.
