Fukushima Daiichi Looking Bad

  1. Unless the profit motive can be enlisted Fukushima is off the map of important things for important people. Now if a vaccine could be developed think of the profit from CA alone. And the Japanese would kill for one. This would take some very clever marketing. And some very big lies with scientific backing of course. But it might be done . . . Who will take the risk? Perhaps vaccine is the wrong concept and word. Some kind of nano machine--a hunter that will hunt down bad stuff and discharge it somehow. A subtle preparation administered by a special doctor at a very special hospital. Any really excellent science fiction writer could put together a very realistic design using some very technical language and make it all sound at least as convincing as the ebola vaccine ( one million will be ready by summer, 2015). With Fukushima now said to be 4X as lethal as Chernobyl the one death from Ebola in the USA hardly seems to merit attention. But Fukushima is here to stay; of course the money has run out for Chernobyl so it may start depopulating some areas again. Destiny is after us. But I understand that all these killers just cheer up those who want to cut the population down to one billion. Fukushima might eventually go further than that when it gets help from other vulnerable reactors. It might go all the way to zero and take all the animals too.

    1. It would appear that Fukushima isn't the only example of environmental (etc) risks being privatized & well ... public. Well titled Majia; "Fukushima and the Privatization of Risk"!

      Industry gesticulates that it is not a problem, though everybody apparently has it now, north of the equator, at least, except for sheltered areas like, what ... Israel? We all get radiated by those isotopic "toxic multipliers" equally, though some are more equal than others. d'oh

  2. Fukushima and all nukes... public risk, private profits.
    The liability of all nukes is, in human terms, forever. Profits that a few made? Untouchable, private hands. That's the capitalist system at work ... government-corporate collusion.

    I'd rather have public utilities that keep costs down, insures labor is well-represented, and maintenance of the system is prioritized and all of it, publicly reviewed.

    That goes for nuclear waste too: above-ground, public report and monitoring public as well.. including visual.

    Dr. Rosalie Bertell in book "No Immediate Danger?..." used the word coined by another, whose name escapes me. To describe the lethalality of Nuclear, it's clear danger that is already underway: decrease fertility, increase disability, shorten lifespans, end species... all species as we know it, including us, and with it, all evidence of history and existence: "omnicide."
