If you’re looking for something new to keep you awake at night,  try this  nifty utility which has interactive maps to help you locate the world’s  nuclear reactors  —  at least those we know about.

Japan’s nuclear plants…

leave a comment »

The predictable  outlets are having their own  scare-fest over the dangers of nuclear power,  complete with I-told-you-so lookbacks.   There are some  voices of sanity from across the  pond.

Jonah Goldberg’s radiation guy tells us  to calm down.   Iain Murray wants to  know where Steven Chu,  the president’s energy guy,  is.   His Oneness has promoted Chu as a nuke power guy,  because killing oil requires energy from nuclear energy.

A modicum of common sense on risk assessment versus benefits would go a long way.   Michael Auslin tells us some of what the USA is  doing to help —  you aren’t surprised that it’s mostly our military,  are you?
