This video from Fox News, whom has a conservative slant on the issues of energy independence, is with former New York Mayer Giuliani. The beginning of the video discusses the indecision of world leaders, to include President Obama, the Prime Minister of Japan and how they have reacted to the recent devastation in Japan. The discussion in the video talks about the nuclear reactors in Japan that have been melting down and how they should or should not promote a sense of leadership through a disaster coordination effort. I personally found it interesting that in Japanese culture there was minimal looting during or after the disaster in Japan. Possibly, the morality of a typical Japanese citizen is of a higher caliber than that of the United States.
The last half of the video discusses that a nuclear reactor is built to withstand even the worst natural disaster by a large margin. The simple fact that nuclear energy is widely used and only contributes to minimal incidents has proven its ability to be a beneficial resource for energy among nations. The question that remains is the fact that we as United States citizen may only remember the negative aspects that media plays on nuclear catastrophes that include the Three Mile Island, 1979 (http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf36.html) incident on the United States east coast. Former Mayor Giuliani lived through the Three Mile Island nuclear incident and believes that nuclear energy is the safest form of energy production and states that no deaths have been proven from nuclear issues at Three Mile Island.
