Congr. Rush Holt (also a physicist) on the U.S. exposure to nuclear disaster

A nice Rachel Maddow segment on what the disaster in Japan means for us in the U.S. How safe are we? Congressman Rush Holt of NJ, also a physicist, makes several excellent points.



As the congressman says, "We need an energy plan. We don't know how we're going to get out of our energy predicament." (But wait — ExxonMobil hasn't sold us its last drop of oil yet. Can't let that happen. Big Money says maybe we should wait.)

By the way, few people are making the point made in this excellent post by John about fail-safe nuclear plants. Yes, Virginia, they exist.
