That almost seemed to be so member n, and all of a sudden in these crises it becomes very human. Guest well, it does, and thats good. Because if there isnt a human taste on an issue, its very difficult for people to become invested in making sure that things are done properly. And so i think that and that was my goal in starting out the book the way we did. We, i wanted to tell a story that people begin to really become engaged in. They may not know anything about nuclear power, they may not have any opinion about nuclear power. But by getting them to invest and understand the drama, then i think, hopefully, by midway in the book weve hooked them, and theyre saying id like to know a little bit more. Host uhhuh. Well, you certainly do capture, i think, a lot of the moments. You mentioned guest well, thats good coming there you. Its kind of nice to know that.

It is over. I think we are seeing the falling apart of it now. We are worried about iran having a Nuclear Device but thats the only nation we have been worried about for a long time. You would think with the fall of the soviet Union Ukraine would want one in kazakhstan would want one in the spec as dan would want one but it actually isnt happening. We have party live through stalin and mao that killed tens of millions of people without dropping a singular Nuclear Device. We have probably the worst people to have nuclear weapons. [inaudible] every time we have an accident is so grossly mismanaged that they have destroyed the political willpower to maintain Nuclear Power and so i myself am very glad that china and vietnam for example are building a lot of Nuclear Plants because it would be of great benefit to the world to have them use less coal and more nuclear.

It was triggered by a 9. 0 earthquake that helped set off the Biggest Nuclear emergency since chernobyl. This is unprecedented, you know, uncharted territory, that the consequences could be greater than we expect. Welcome to 60 minutes on cnbc. Im morley safer. In this edition, we look at the effect of three disasters the massive 2010 Gulf Oil Spill, the chilean mine collapse that trapped 33 miners underground for weeks, and, in 2011, the massive earthquake in japan followed by a devastating tsunami. We begin with the bp oil spill and Kenneth Feinberg, the lawyer who is
That there was going to have to be pledges mutual pledges that the other guys thought i was good enough to warrant their president our president cannot did make this announcement. If we come in with some kind of a lowball, which obviously wasnt in the cards for us, but if they had seen nothing that was inadequate, that would concern them. I think they were just as concerned about a notion of the capacity of the u. S. To implement the target. They always watch our politics closely on our flickr what was going on and whats doable and not doable. Our capacity is both quite ambitious but also something we can execute based on the authorities we have. I think i was important to them. You know, because of other progress with china, it has caused a lot of people to ask about india. The thirdlargest emitter. In a very important player in the dynamics generally. We do cochairs and dialogue on climate issues and we just happened to be in delhi during that meeting during the International Session
