Japan's nuclear industry is eager to restart reactors shut down for maintenance or switched off after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami caused explosions and meltdowns at a power plant in the northeast and sparked a nationwide panic over radiation exposure. Energy officials and pro-nuclear politicians say they need to "gain public understanding" - a buzzword often heard at civic forums, on news programs and on Internet chat sites across Japan, where thousands are passionately arguing the pros and cons of nuclear power in the disaster-prone nation.
It's been a busy month for Long Island Power Authority Chairman Richard Kessel. He cut a tentative deal to buy two power plants from KeySpan. At the same time, LIPA passed on buying 15 others. It also announced that it intended to freeze rates for two years - seemingly a minor miracle. LIBN spoke to Kessel about the deal with KeySpan and if LIPA really would consider going private.

It is long-standing practice in Vermont that security expenses for travel with a governor are covered by the state," said SUSAN ALLEN, Shumlin's spokeswoman, "and this administration will continue that practice.
