Greg Pallast reports on many aspects of the nuclear disaster in Japan that are not discussed at all in the US media, such as the companies which built the reactor, duplicitous practices of some US nuclear reactor companies that he witnessed, as well as how the Obama Administration is about to approve new reactors in the Gulf of Texas. Pallast's style is outraged (which suits the piece fine) and somewhat lacking in rigor. I recommend this piece because of the timeliness and potential importance of the topic.

Regulation is an effective check on avarice only if it is adversarial. We don't need regulator that can "work with" the regulated.
