Steam as a byproduct of the water being used to cool the reactors is hardly a smoldering coastline.
Otherwise, I guess I should be pretty worried, because we have “smoldering” buildings right here in my town.
Even if one of the reactors caught fire, it wouldn’t be the same as a “smoldering coastline”.
I was mostly commenting because I was actually impressed seeing a side-by-side picture gallery of Japan. A lot of cleanup (and a lot of boats still stranded in the middle of land, and a LOT Of work to do still to get back to normal, and a lot of people suffering still for reasons that have nothing to do with one failed nuclear power plant.
Charles, are you denying that the Fukushima cores have escaped containment and are now venting radiation into the environment? And they are doing so because they are very hot? Have you been keeping up?
So Fukushima is just ‘one failed power plant’??? With 50 times the fuel of Chernobyl and no known way of containing it? THIS is why your distortion is a waste of time. If you have to exaggerate like that - you obviously had no reasonable points to make and had to ‘go there’. I am sure, that if the following months of deposition of radioactive contamination continue to build up in Tokyo - it will be a ‘minor rezoning’ issue according to you. And the contamination of the water table - can be adressed with a few Brita filters. The contamination of so much arable land - well it was time to ‘give the fields a rest’ anyway. See, I can play your game and minimize quickly and easily - but why should I take the time to assemble a reasoned rebuttal to your nonsense if you don’t spend any time on it yourself?
