japan has closed its plants. that gets rid of 30% of its power for the nation's second or third largest economy. that's a terrible blow. they're having manufacturing on weekends and thermostats are up, and the emperor was running around the palace with a candle to set a good example. that's not the way you build a vibrant strong prosperous economy. we need lots of clean, low-cost reliable electricity. japan's has been nuclear. 25% of ours is. the former ambassador said two he hoped two of the japanese plants will be opening soon. he hoped that two by two by two they would come back for the welfare of the japanese people. they don't even have the advantage of cheap natural gas over there that we have here. i'll be looking at your general attitude about the next 20 or 30 years of nuclear power. mine is that we'll probably need 100 new plants, partially to replace the ones we have, and partially to keep our air clean and to meet the demand for electricity in a country that uses 25% of all the electricity in the worl

the one way that they do that is by taking seized by from the plant species, native plants, and actually so them in trees like this and then they let them grow a little bit and when they're ready to be transplanted they come into these yellow stubs, they let them grow in here a little bit as you can see. we have full grown ones. then they get bigger, and in the rainy season they will replant them along the shoreline. they want to restore 100,000 a. of this native title marsh. you can see is a group of people behind me, you may see some faces that look familiar. this is the cbs 5 members coming out here to volunteer today. save the day actually mobilizes about 5000 people including adults and students every year, to come out and pick up trash and remove these weeds and help restore the bay. the big boss is here. the general manager and news director. they're not used to being on tv but we will do that anyway. >> i am amazed at your plants knowledge. you did some homework. >> i have learned a lot today. i have. and it is good to know. >> i think that the wardrobe change was a good idea. dr

plants to mitigate against this extreme kind of natural event that occurred in japan. since japan had not had a 9/11 type event, their regulators had not put equivalent measures in place in japan to my knowledge. in prioritizing the nrc's response to the lessons learned of fukushima, we have of course looked at extreme natural hazards. and that's one of the outgrowths is to look at the readiness to mitigate and defend a nuclear power plant against extreme natural events. we discussed three immediately effective emergency orders requiring that nuclear power plants in the united states enhance their ability to mitigate against what we call beyond design basis, or very extreme natural events. we also issued an order to require hardened venting systems at bwr plants of a certain containment design. and then we also are requiring enhanced spent fuel pool instrumentation so that there will be greater knowledge about the status of the spent fuel pool should an extreme natural event occur. we also are requiring the reevaluation of seismic and flooding risks at plants as i desc

support for building more nuclear power plants fell to 42% from 61%, that it was in '08. so i just want to put that in the record. having said all that, i'm now going to ask some questions mostly to commissioner svinicki. because my request of dr. macfarlane, i don't have questions of her is just to bring that professionalism, as you have shown that you have done in every job you have had to the commission. because it's necessary to have a fresh start over there from everyone. and also a lot of transparency. we're going to be holding a lot of oversight to see how it's going with all the commissioners. because i think it's important. okay. commissioner svinicki, there are serious problems with the steam generators at the san onofre nuclear plant. i know you're aware of that. and it is shut down. and we don't know when it's going to open. the operator is very concerned. and there are many people who believe it was design changes that were permitted to go forward. so i asked and wrote and asked if we could have a review whether or not there should have been a licensed amendm

those are the street trees we want people to be planting. we do a lot of tree plantings. all of you must intuitively go, "of course it's good to plant trees," of course, i want to put a rain barrel on my house." but is there a measurable environmental impact? trees are going to take up a lot of stormwater over time and are kind of a long-term green investment. we've had more than 200 volunteers come out planting street trees. we need people to make active changes on their property. and to reduce the amount of flow that's going into the combined sewer lines, we're trying to install 4,000 rain barrels. narrator: homeowners can disconnect roof gutter downspouts from the sewer system and divert the stormwater into a rain barrel. schombert: the rain water then can be used to water lawns and gardens and infiltrate back in the ground slowly, rather than being piped to a creek where it disappears moments after the storm's over. it's being held within the watershed and it helps regenerate ground water and stream flows. hecht: that's what we're going to do this afternoon is think a

the power plant outside the eco city limits is cleaner than many others. the entire tianjin region has been chosen as a flagship climate protection zone. efficient use of coal is essential for a good carbon footprint. coal is the backbone of china's growing prosperity. several billion tons of it annually fuel its economic expansion. but it's a nightmare for the climate. china is not just concerned about the environment, but also about its energy reserves. where will all the raw materials come from? energy efficiency is the key to sustainable growth -- and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. in our power plants there are a total of six boilers, five of which are coal-fired. we can't manage without coal, but coal is becoming more expensive. for our economic success to continue, we have to use less coal. besides, the government has set energy conservation targets and permissible pollution limits that we have to observe. new sulfur filters, modern boiler technology, rainwater use are a start. in the past few years the power plant perator has invested quite a

it's an 87-year-old coal-fired power plant. thomas edison was alive when this plant was built. the television had just been invented. air travel was in itsen fancy. the first transatlantic flight was two years away when this plant was built and still operating today. we've improved on all of the other technologies and we figured out how to do the sammy thing, but for less money all with greater speed and with reliability. it's the american way. new replaces old, efficient replaces wasteful, clean replaces dirty. high-tech replaces low-tech and our country benefits when this happens. the 87-year-old perry kay power plant is switching to natural gas beginning in 2014. this is a growing trend in the power sector. natural gas is cheaper. it burns cleaner. you are less likely to get asthma or have a baby with birth defects and if you live near a plant that burns it, you're feeling better about the health of your own children because you know that there are more dangerous elements coming out of coal than out of natural gas and you can get natural gas without blowing the tops off of m
