Don't you think that we should hold off on licensing new reactors on new reactor designs or approving new loan guarantees until we assure that these new reactors are safe and we have learned the lessons of Fukushima?

Are you going to reexamine it in light of what happened in Japan?

One of them is banker-in-chief to the nuclear industry, a socialist system that allows for the U.S. Government to provide taxpayer-backed loan guarantees for nuclear power plant construction in our country.

I think the American taxpayer really has to be protected here going forward.

What interim safety measures are you going to require while you study the issue?

They are just like a toxic asset, literally and financially guaranteed by the federal taxpayers if something goes wrong.

We don't need to study these pills to know that they can prevent cancer. I believe that the Obama administration should immediately implement my law from 7 years ago.

We, too, need a seismic shift in our approach to nuclear reactor safety. I fear that we are not moving fast enough to take these important steps.

Right now, a few dozen brave souls are fighting a nuclear meltdown with water trucks. We send our prayers to those heroes and to the people of Japan.

Should OMB reexamine the risk premium?

somebody needs to send a message, and you can send it as we can send it to these industries...
