The Tragedy in Japan
Like everyone else, I have been following with growing sadness the tragedies unfolding right now in Japan.
One aspect of the disaster is that the resurgence of nuclear power around the world will probably be slowed or reversed as partial meltdowns have occurred at two of the reactors in Northern Japan. In a world with an already-uncertain energy future, this destabilization of one option makes the choices harder, if more realistic.
