America's Reckless Nuclear Waste Policy

America's Reckless Nuclear Waste Policy

William Pentland, Forbes
On Friday, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda approved Japan’s first post-Fukushima energy policy, which includes a plan for phasing out nuclear power on the island nation by the late 2030s.Last year, Chancellor Angela Merkel made a similar commitment to shut down Germany’s nuclear power plants by 2022, a few months after an earthquake and tsunami triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster and devastated large swaths of land north of Tokyo.http://www.realclearscience.com/2012/09/25/america039s_reckless_nuclear_waste_policy_249179.html?utm_medium=widget&utm_campaign=rss
