The overwhelming percentage of the casualties last spring resulted from the quake and the tsunami, not the reactor meltdown.

This is true, because zero people have died as a result of radiation poisoning. A recent report indicates that of the 573 "disaster-related" deaths that occurred, exactly 573 were due to the evacuation and not to radiation. Some people may suffer ill consequences later in life due to the radiation dose they received, but there have been no fatalities due to radiation in this incident. However, the mass global hysteria has certainly contributed to many deaths.

So, instead of nuclear are they going to go with exercise bikes connected to alternators?

It will add a whole new meaning to the phrase “rice burner”.

meanwhile, the NE USA is swimming in natural gas which is tanking in price and everyone from NY State to the Greens are battling any further development of gas and LNG export terminals.

Funny, no mention of the whole 50 Hz and 60 Hz fiasco that generally wracked havok with their entire grid.

Imagine having about 50% of the country on each grid, and having huge power-stations that could, in the event of a brown-out help change the frequency from 50 to 60Hz to help ride out a power surge.

Now, knock out one of the grids with a natural disaster ... golly, now you have not only a huge demand for energy for recovering form a natural disaster, you have the added mess of keeping the two incompatible power systems up and running - simultaneously.

I submit that if Japan had either gone 50 Hz, or 60 Hz (I really don’t care which) - their problems would have dimminished by well over 75%.

As someone said here on FR some time back, the people of the Western nations (and that includes Japan) have birth controlled, arborted, and homosexualized themselves into oblivion.

As Mary Steyn observed: The future belongs to those who show up for it.

To correct the record, nobody has died in Japan from radiation exposures from the damage to the Fukushima reactors. Nobody in the general public has been injured as a result of the radioactivity releases from the reactors. There was one person who got an overexposure to the surface of the skin of one of his legs as a result of walking through some contaminated water in the early phases of the incident. His health has been monitored and so far he shows no ill effects. None of the reactor operators has been exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation. None of the recovery workers have had harmful exposures.

So here we have an industrial accident, driven by an exceedingly rare natural event, and the toll so far is:

Fatalities: zero
Injuries: zero

If only all industrial accidents were this "dangerous".
