this was based on politicians and to get electric companies which most failed. and his team were very smart. they took special credits from the california special board and used credits and sold them to companies that weren't able to meet those federal standards. so instead of showing 57 million-dollar loss, they showed an 11 million profit. david: lauren, i agree with you 100%. i agree with you 100% it was artificial but sometimes even an artificial stimulus can get demand going. have we reach ad point now where there are enough of these things on the road, people say gee, i like the cargoing by, even though it was phony demand, built on basis of a lot of federal credits and state credits as well maybe now it is built a demand of its own? >> well, i think that, you can't deny it is a great-looking car, number one, that is absolutely the fact, but, the fact is not too many people have 70 to $90,000 to buy a car. when you look at that market segment, it is much narrower than the average large car market where the car was sold 25 to $40,000. the market demand says

officials of the tokyo electric power company says the tank has no water gauge. they say the workers didn't notice the leak in their daily inspections until they saw the puddle outside the barrier. nuclear regulators urged the utility to check 350 tanks of the same structure in the compound. >> translator: if a leak occurred at one tank, we should assume it could happen at other tanks as well. >>> the tafrpg produces 400 tons of contaminated water because ground water is coming into the reactor buildings through cracks in the walls. the nuclear regulators say the leak of the contaminated water may be worse than they first thought. they are reassessing the severity of the spill and say they may raise their rating by two levels. members of the nuclear regulation authority rated the leak a level one incident on an international scale from zero to seven, but say they may revise their rating to level three. the scale classifies the seriousness of nuclear incidents. regulators look at how much the radiation has leaked and how badly the facility was damaged. level three

the plant's operator tokyo electric power company plans to restart a filtering system to remove radioactive substances from toxic water. it says it will carry out a trial run of this system as early as mid-september. the system previously experienced problems. the expert panel will consider expanding the use of such treatment equipment to reduce the amount of contaminated water. more than 300,000 tons of tainted water is stored in tanks at the site. >>> many people in fukushima still can't go back to their homes. community leaders say they've had it with nuclear plants. so they're joining hands to demand the scrapping of all reactors in their prefecture, not just those that melted down. the fukushima daiichi plant has six reactors. four were damaged in the tsunami in march 2011 and melted down. they're due to be scrapped. the fukushima danei plant has four reactors, none was seriously damaged. mayors and assembly chiefs from the towns that host the plants say they want utility workers to scrap all ten reactors. they say there's no alternative, because residents have been forced to live as e

officials from the tokyo electric power company say one tank lost 300 tons of water. they're trying to find out how. tepco officials say the water inside the tank was treated to reduce radioactive cesium, but they found that the leaked water still had high levels of radioactive materials. tepco officials say they think most of the water has seeped into the ground, but they say it's unlikely that it traveled directly into the ocean, 500 meters away. workers plan to remove soil near the tank, and they'll measure radiation levels to try to understand the extent of the problem. the plant produces 400 tons of contaminated water every day. that's partly because groundwater is coming into the reactor buildings through cracks in the wall. nuclear regulators urged the tight check whether the leaked water has flowed into the sea through the drainage system. tepco has already admitted that tainted ground water is seeping into the ocean. officials from the utility and the government met with fishermen for a second time to update them on the crisis. about 200 fishermen attended th

company should have been keeping records of radiation levels near the tanks on a regular basis. tepco officials told him they need more workers to oversee the site. >> translator: we want officials with tokyo electric power company to admit the limits of their efforts instead of simply repeating that they are doing their best. they should speak up about what they need. >> tepco officials should voice any other concerns they have about funding their operations. plant managers say some of the contaminated water that leaked from the storage tank may have flowed into the ocean. a lot of it soaked into the soil. workers plan to excavate a layer of soil and measure radiation levels. if the levels are high, they will keep digging until they reach clean soil. but engineers say underground cables may hamper excavation efforts. crews have been trying to contain another source of contamination. an estimated 210 tons of highly radioactive water sits in a tunnel that's about 60 meters from the shore. the water has been leaking into the ocean. tepco officials say workers will run the water through a filter designed to capture some of the radioactive particles, then they'll store it in steel tanks. estimates sugg

he told crews with plant operator tokyo electric tower company, or tepco, to take several measures include enhancing the monitoring of storage tanks and installing more welded tanks. the tank that leaked was made of steel plates attached by bolts rather than welding. tepco has been criticized for the poor handling of the leaks at the plant and its late recognition that radioactive materials are flowing into the ocean. the company's president has responded with a pledge to send up a special task force in charge of managing contaminated water. >> reporter: we need >> translator: we need to employ all the personnel and equipment at the plant. we understand this is a major challenge and we're determined to confront it steadfastly. >> tepco officials say experts from outside japan will also be invited to join the task force on contaminated water. in addition, tepco's vice president in charge of nuclear power will be stationed at the plant to oversee operations directly. >>> prosecutors are demanding a severe sentence for a former political heavyweight. the trial of bo xilai has ended. the once

workers with tokyo electric power company detected high levels of radiation inside a ditch. the ditch is about 50 meters from the leaking tank and runs into the ocean south of the plant's port. workers have set up hundreds of tanks on a hillside near the reactors. they erected a low wall and still the water seeped out. officials said they are considering raising the severity level of the leak. they rated it level one on the international scale that runs from zero to 7. they are considering raising to level three for serious incidents. previously tepco officials said it was unlikely that contamin e contaminated water was reaching the shore. the level of substances in the ocean was not as high as that on land. officials at japan's nuclear regulator appear to be losing patience and ordered the company to set up measures to prevent more leaks. they held an emergency meeting on wednesday evening. the commissioner with the agency said he doubts the current system is in any way capable of preventing further leakage. >> there is no record of monitoring? >> no, we didn't keep any. >>
