U.S. Department of Energy issued an emergency alert Tuesday morning at the Hanfo rd Site north of Richland, Washington, after a tunnel containing rail cars full of radioactive material was breached.Hanford is the nation’s largest nuclear cleanup site, with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste sitting in old, leaky underground tanks just a few hours upriver from Portland. After more than 20 years and $19 billion dollars, not a drop of waste has been treated.

Construction on the treatment plant was supposed to be completed in 2007. That slipped to 2011, then 2019. And now the deadline has been extended to 2036 for the most dangerous waste.OPB.

President Richard Nixon appeared in San Clemente, California, for the momentous signing of the National Environmental Policy Act—the congressional statute that formally recast the government's role from conserving the wilderness toprotecting the health of the environment and the general public. In the previous decade, rising unrest over the link between pollution and poor health—spurred forward by Rachel Carson's groundbreaking 1962 exposé Silent Spring and Lady Bird Johnson's beautification campaign—gave birth to a burgeoning environmental movement demanding strong and urgent action from the federal government. President Nixon, pledging vig orous enforcement, signed into law today a clean air bill that sets a six-year deadline for the automobile industry to develop an engine that is nearly free of pollution.Mother Jones NYT

The worlds of investing and business have changed, making it tougher to buy good companies and giving rise to huge businesses that are based on ideas, not manufacturing plants, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger said Saturday.Munger, who is vice chairman of Berkshire, said, “The general field of buying whole companies has gotten more competitive,” making it difficult for Berkshire to find affordable businesses to add to its dozens of operating companies. Berkshire’s future growth will be “less glorious than in the past. We keep saying that, and now we’re proving it,” he said. Berkshire’s growth averaged 21 percent a year for its first 42 years under Buffett but 8.7 percent in the decade since.Omaha World-Herald is owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Center for Politics Poll Takes Temperature of Trump Voters at 100-Day Mark http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Trump_voter_poll_summary.pd

Speaking after their first face-to-face meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Trump pledged to support Abbas "in being the Palestinian leader who signs his name to the final and the most important peace agreement that brings safety, stability, prosperity to both peoples and to the region"."I've always heard that perhaps the toughest deal to make is the deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians," Trump said.

Abbas reiterated the Palestinian demand for an independent Palestinian state along pre-1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital. "Our strategic and sole option is to achieve the two-state solution, the state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital to live side by side in peace, safety and stability together with the state of Israel along 1967 borders,"We are the only people in the world who remain occupied that is why we are seeking our freedom, our dignity and the right of self-determination."

Hamas has presented a new political document that accepts the formation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, without recognising the statehood of Israel, and says that the conflict in Palestine is not a religious one.Al Jazeera News

In an interview with foreign affairs reporter Christiane Amanpour a World Summit  the Women in the in New York City on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton said that she has conducted an "excruciating analysis" of her failed presidential campaign as part of a book she is writing.

What has she learned? While admitting that she made mistakes and that her campaign had "challenges", "problems" and "shortfalls", she pointed the finger at two men - FBI Director James Comey and Russian President Vladimir Putin - as the proximate cause of her defeat."I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian Wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off," she said. "The evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling." BBC
