...perhaps because Yorke now has a separate outlet for his more personal yearnings, the fusion of urgency and detachment feels organic, unforced and fertile. Like Bonnaroo, Radiohead is bigger than ever and poised to reach audiences far beyond its core constituency. The band sounds reorganized and reenergized, ready to plant the seeds of what will come next...
...more companies are coming around to Lheem's thinking. Near Hyundai's plant, Nokia opened the first phase of a $150 million mobile-phone factory in March. In the state of Orissa on India's east coast, South Korean steel giant Posco plans to construct a $12 billion mill. SemIndia, a company formed by chip-industry executives, will break ground in June on a $3 billion semiconductor factory in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. Others are coming around, too. Dell Computer recently announced its intention to build a factory in India, joining those it already has in China...
...year, at world-class quality levels. Hyundai has been shifting production of its smallest cars to India to take advantage of low costs, thereby keeping the business profitable. One-third of its cars produced in India are exported to Germany, Peru, South Africa and elsewhere. Opened in 1998, the plant was operating long before Hyundai opened factories in China or the U.S. and the South Korean carmaker is already building a second, $1 billion facility next door. Why? "We are going to use India as an export hub, and the domestic market is also growing very fast," says Lheem Heung...
...Waste disposal. Nuclear plants produce radioactive waste, which must be carefully shielded and stored. According to Melbourne University's Sevior, "the amount of waste that comes out of a typical [nuclear] plant is around 30 tonnes a year. The amount of waste that comes out of a coal-fired power plant is around 1,000 tonnes a day." Used fuel rods can be reprocessed into new fuel, reducing the volume of waste that needs to be stored by over 90%; turning the waste into synthetic rock reduces this even further. If it's not reprocessed, this high-level waste stays...
...Cost. The two sides differ on how to compare the costs of nuclear and other power. Nuclear plants are hugely expensive to build: an average-sized plant costs about $A2.5 billion. But they need very little fuel-uranium yields up to 1 million times as much energy as the same quantity of coal. The ansto study found that, taking waste management costs into account, nuclear power from an advanced plant "is cheaper than generating it from coal or a [clean coal] station...
