[the Nuclear gravy train]
Tied in with the secrecy are of course – the lies. The old lies – that nuclear weapons are necessary, that nuclear power is safe, cheap, clean, the cure for climate change, waste disposal is solved.
The new lies – that new nuclear technology – reprocessing, small reactors, thorium reactors will be the salvation of the industry, and of the world’s climate and energy problems.
Above all – the lies that renewable energy is ineffective, uneconomic, doesn’t supply “base load” power. These are perhaps the worst lies – as the nuclear lobby tries to stop the world from getting 100% clean energy – now possible, from the sun, wind, and tides.

What economists call a moral hazard: John Fishback at TEDxBrookings
2014/04/03 に公開
When should we and when shouldn't we rely on economic theory to help us make our choices? Who is ultimately responsible for our communities? John Fishback tackles these issues in his TEDx talk: "What Economists Call a Moral Hazard."
John holds a BA from Georgetown University, an MA from NYU, and is a proud graduate of Brookings High School.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

moral hazard
モラル・ハザード（英: moral hazard）には、以下の3つの異なる意味がある。本項ではそれぞれについて説明する。
- プリンシパル=エージェント問題。経済学のプリンシパル=エージェント関係（「使用者と被用者の関係」など）において、情報の非対称性によりエージェントの行動についてプリンシパルが知りえない情報や専門知識がある（片方の側のみ情報と専門知識を有する）ことから、エージェントの行動に歪みが生じ効率的な資源配分が妨げられる現象。「隠された行動」によって起きる。
- 保険におけるモラル・ハザード。保険に加入していることにより、リスクをともなう行動が生じること。広義には、1.に含まれる。
- 倫理の欠如。倫理観や道徳的節度がなくなり、社会的な責任を果たさないこと（「バレなければよい」という考えが醸成されるなど）。
