United States News Title: Trump: 'We Do Need Nuclear Energy' DONALD TRUMP, CHAIRMAN & CEO, TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS: Japan is really -- it's been a linchpin, and hasn't been doing so well over the last 10 years, frankly. But it has been a strong player and a big player. And when you see what's happening, and ultimately what could happen to nuclear energy in terms of a worldwide feeling, is not a good thing. CAVUTO: Are we overreacting, Germany sidelining some nuclear reactors, E.U. reconsidering it, Joe Lieberman in this country saying maybe take a look at new licenses? TRUMP: Well, when you see what's going on in Japan, certainly you can't say overreacting, but, look, nuclear is a way that we get what we have to get, which is energy. I think that probably there's not an overreaction, but we have to be very, very careful. I worry about terrorists. I worry about other things beyond just that. We have the earthquakes. Now, New York has been fairly earthquake-free and certain other areas, but you also have them in California. And, certainly, that's a ground zero-type site. We have to be very concerned. I'm in favor of nuclear energy, very strongly in favor of nuclear energy. You know, it's sort of interesting. Somebody was explaining if a plane goes down, people keep flying. If you get into an auto crash, people keep driving. There are problems in life. Not everything is so perfect. You have to look very carefully, though, at really taking care; have the best, the best people in terms of safeguards for nuclear energy. But we do need nuclear energy, and we need a lot of it fast. CAVUTO: But if you're Saudi Arabia or you're OPEC and you're looking at this, you're just rubbing your hands together. TRUMP: They are absolutely salivating. Now, who knows how long they're going to be around? They're only there because of us. It always amazes me when they raise the price. You know, they raise the price. Nobody ever talks to them. Nobody ever says you are not going to do this. It really is. But they must be... CAVUTO: So, you're saying that's them raising the prices, not the markets and fear leading the price? TRUMP: No, it's not the markets. It's OPEC. Look, I have been hearing about speculators. I know speculators. They only wish they had that kind of power. They set the price of oil. If they did it in this country, it would be called an illegal deal. It would be illegal. They'd go to jail. (CROSSTALK) CAVUTO: So you think they are deliberately colluding to do this? TRUMP: Well, of course. It's OPEC. I mean, that's what they do. (CROSSTALK) CAVUTO: Donald, if they overdo it, they could shoot themselves. TRUMP: Twelve guys sitting around a table, and they are having an absolute field day, because we have nobody to go and call and talk and say, fellows, you are not going to do it. If you do it, you have got big, problems. They wouldn't even be there, except for us, Neil. Without us, they wouldn't even exist. CAVUTO: But what do you think they think about our reaction to go slow on drilling here, even in the face of this? TRUMP: I think it's -- I think it's incredible that we are going slow on drilling. I think it's beyond anything I have ever seen that we go slow on drilling. And there are always going to be problems. You are going to have an oil spill. You are going to have this. You clean it up and you will fix it up and it will be fine. And people have already almost forgotten... CAVUTO: Well, the Gulf thing was more than a little deal, though, right? Right? TRUMP: It was a disaster. It was a disaster. It got solved. CAVUTO: But do you think, without that, they would be rushing more... (CROSSTALK) TRUMP: No, I don't think they would. I mean, it's amazing. CAVUTO: Oh, so that's an excuse? TRUMP: No. I just think -- I don't think they would. It's incredible that we're not going -- I have people in the business who say, it's impossible to get a permit to drill. So, you can imagine how hard it is to get nuclear and other things. But they say it's almost impossible. And the Saudi's -- I have so many friends over on the other side. They are salivating. They can't believe that this country -- if you look at certain things, like natural gas, we're the Saudi Arabia times a hundred of natural gas. But we don't use it. There so are many different ways, beyond the nuclear. The nuclear really does have its issues; let's face it. I mean it's not a pretty sight, when you look at Japan and you see what is going on. It does have issues. CAVUTO: Right. TRUMP: You look at natural gas, we have more than anybody. We are the biggest. We don't use it. CAVUTO: This president lately, in all seriousness, Donald, has gotten some criticism for how he has reacted and what he has done as this earthquake news has been unfolding. Now, presidents are entitled to their weekends, of course, but reports that he was golfing, going to a Gridiron dinner as we're getting more serious reports out of Tokyo.

So Trump can go bankrupt over and over, and come out of it rich, again and again? So that the top 400 can own more wealth than the Bottom 155 million? Why do these psychopaths manage to survive as long as they do.
To Recap: It took the Soviets 600 000 troops/volunteers 7 months to get one reactor under 'control'. Top/Sides/and most importantly, Underneath. And the State requisitioned everything regardless of price. And they can't evacuate Tokyo, a city of 36 million. We're at the beginning of the beginning. A 9 will hit SoCal. And then what. There are 34 BWR's in the US, just like FU 1. 7 (on the Nuke Scale) X 6 = 42. 6 Chernobyls. Plus Spent Fuel Rods at all 6.
If you ever want to change your screen name to chicken little. Just let me know.
god dammit. Stick your head in the sand, A K. Tell me where I've been wrong since this little 'episode' started. You're one of those in the Epic Fail movies that are giving us Dirty Fuckin Hipies shit up to the moment the wave/explosion hits. So, to recap your POV. Chernobyl was no big deal. We can keep spent fuel rods covered with water forever, even though we have no where else to put the radiation that will last for 10 000 years. I got that right? You'll correct me I'm sure. ;} Note the EU Energy Minister: 'Out of Control in hours'. USSA MSM translation: 'EU Minister says Situation will be a disaster soon.'
"by Jan Lundberg 16 March 2011 ImageIn traditional cultures that cared for the land, all people enjoyed generation after generation of living reasonably, if not perfectly or with fabulous wealth. Food was grown locally, as were plant medicines and materials for clothing and shelter. Some big trees were left standing, taken only occasionally for a long-lasting community purpose such as a dugout canoe -- not for one man's private patio. This time-honored way of living did not see freeways or nuclear power stations take over the landscape and pollute the air and water, or change the way people related to each other or to the land. But as Western Civilization advanced, the notions of progress and growth took root and became major pursuits. This assured the spiral of greed and expansion that has culminated in vast projects beyond the human scale: shopping malls, port facilities for huge cargo ships, downtown skyscrapers, and industrial agriculture. And nukes." Your children/prodigy will curse you and your religion. Gods are in control of this planet. But they're not nice. ;}
