Jacob, If there is industry there will be industrial accidents - and industrial deaths. If there is life there will injury and death accidents. The concept of France walking away from nuclear power when their basic fiscal stability is coming under question is laughable. I wonder how many people were killed today in car crashes in France today? Ah - who cares - I own no nuclear stocks - anything that drives the cost of hydrocarbons higher is good for me. I think I should join the French socialists and demand a reduction of French nuclear power. Bob

"Also, it demonstrates the inability of anyone (U.S., Russia, Japan, and now France) to run their nuclear industry safely. Different designs, different governments with different regulatory attitudes, but nobody can do it safely." Name an industry where people aren't hurt or occasionally die? Does the coal, NG or crude industries run without injuries or death. IMO it demonstrates an uneducated public and phobic fear against anything involving "radiation".

That is the largest number of bears since March 2009 (was 21.5% at the July market peak). And we have the fewest bulls since the August 2010 retest of the lows back then.
