After the fireball, Cullin said, the black-glass windows blew out and the venetian blinds starting flapping in the wind. The building houses regional offices of the IRS and other federal agencies. As one unidentified office worker from the building said, "If you have problems with the IRS, this is where you come in person to work them out."

...serious obstacle to a nuclear comeback: they jack up the already exorbitant cost of construction. That is the truly serious drawback of nuclear energy. Recent studies have priced new nuclear power at 25 to 30 cents per kilowatt-hour, about four times the cost of producing juice with new wind or coal plants, or 10 times the cost of reducing the need for electricity through investments in efficiency.

And nuclear energy may be the least cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gases, which is why private investors are pouring billions into efficiency as well as wind, solar and other renewables instead.

The instruments still sound prepackaged and the chord changes, while effective, remain obvious. The production, though nearly flawless, places more of an emotional divide between...
...still a good idea! And the CFPA is a clear way to send a message that the economy is supposed to work for ordinary families. We should have a CFPA - and also size restrictions, stricter leverage rules and capital requirements, better regulation of complex derivatives, an orderly mechanism to wind down failing firms without bailouts and all the other elements of financial reform...
