Fukushima Daiichi September 28 2016: Steamy Looking


The Daiichi site looks very "steamy" today, although there is only a 40% chance of precipitation in the weather report and the streets at the Futaba intersection are completely dry.

Fukushima Daiichi September 28, 2016





For readers who think the "steam" is simply fog I recommend they take a look at these screenshots from a week ago taken with the Futaba cam.

  1. The song"little Boxes" was a protest song written by a quaker named Malvena Edwards in the 60s. It satarized cheap tract houses built with a lot of asbestos at the dawn of the atomic age and continues to a certain extent. It brings to mind atomic reactors like Fukushima that have no priscience of the future. Reactors with fuel pools built a hundred foot above the floors of the plants. It brings to the foreground of humans then and now of a mindset of disposability and unchecked growth for the sake of growth and money.Malveena Edwards highlighted the massive conformity and toxic mindset of then and now.
    One, two, three, let's all sing...

    Little boxes on the hillside
    Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
    Little boxes on the hillside
    Little boxes all the same
    There's the green one and the big one
    And the blue one and the yellow one
    And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
    And they all look just the same

    And the people in the houses
    All went to the university
    Where they work folding boxes
    And they came out all the same
    And there's doctors, and there's lawyers
    And business executives
    And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
    And they all look just the same

    And they all play on the golf course
    And drink their martinis dry
    And they all have pretty children
    And the children go to school
    And the children go to summer camp
    And then to the university
    When they're all folding boxes
    And they come out all the same

    And the boys go into business
    And marry and raise a family
    In boxes made of ticky-tacky
    And they all look just the same

  2. The song Little Boxes was based on tract houses built in the 40s 50s and beyond made of cheap materials. Lots of asbestos. It was based on the creations of levitt and sons. The theme in house building is still popular though even with mass homelessness and incarceration. 11 million cycled through us jails and prisons last year. Now we have ticky tacky mcmansions. microhouses and self sufficiency are better steps though. Levitt and Sons found ways to cut costs on the building materials, using sheet rock instead of plaster, and asbestos tiles, which would eventually crumble. They used Colorbestos sheets instead of shingles because they were cheap and easy to come by. It was these practices that may have inspired the use of the phrase "ticky-tacky" in this song.
