* Germany

* Japan
* Nuclear Power
Japan and Germany are abandoning nuclear power.
China has decided to abandon old, unsafe designs like Fukushima and many reactors used in the U.S., and to use safer designs. See this and this.
And yet the U.S. - alone among the world's largest economies - intends to go rogue ... proposing loan guarantees of $36 billion dollars to re-start America's love affair with nuclear energy and to build the first new nuclear reactors in decades. See this, this, this and this.
Remember, it is undisputed that nuclear power plants would not exist if operators had to obtain funding and insurance through the free market. Private insurers won't touch nuclear energy. Investors run the other way, because the odds of losing all of their investment are so high.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
