Thank you for the excellent interview, and back in March! Outstanding! We need somebody like Mr. Gopalakrishnan on the NRC Board.. Re NRC, however, with all its "openness," the way NRC functions leaves much to be desired

The world's pointing the finger to Japan but this is a global crisis and if governments really cared about their people, they would put everything else aside to the the very best we can to limit the damage, and then it will be time for a big big revamp of our ways

@nickharvey7 Unfortunately, the is no money to be made and no control of the population's wealth by taking time on a global scale to develop these technologies. Mind you, armies and such ventures have access to technology that we have not heard of yet. It has been this way for a long time now. We get drip-fed technology on the consumer markets long after it's been used and superceded. It's all about greed as usual, and the innocent suffer the most.
