Lots of good info I haven't seen anywhere else. For example: "A report in January in the Montreal Gazette noted that Japanese testing for radioactive cesium revealed contamination in sixteen of 22 species of fish exported to Canada. Radioactive cesium was found in 73 percent of the mackerel tested, 91 percent of the halibut, 92 percent of the sardines, 93 percent of the tuna and eel, 94 percent of the cod and anchovies, and 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark, and monkfish. These tests were conducted in November and indicate that the radioactivity is spreading, because tuna, for example, is caught at least 900 kilometers (560 miles) off shore. "

One problem with tuna is they try to catch the largest ones which over years will have the greatest build-up of toxic products. Any word on what has happened to our air as a result of Fukishima?

I was in the nuclear industry for over 20 years. The greatest threat I ever faced was Amory Lovins.

Thanks for posting the truth about nuclear power. The sheeple here can flame away, but Nuclear power is Insanity in its current form at least. As the article suggests- The sheeple have been well programed to think it is great. Yet it can do far more permanent damage than a nuclear bomb. These plants are getting older and being extended past their lifetime limits. It is simple fact that eventually events will happen that satisfy the makings of a disaster lasting thousands of years. If those makings be man made or some natural event, it does not matter. History shows that these kinds of events will happen. To put humanity at such risk results from either ignorance, or from being just plain dead in a spiritual sense. Very important is the fact that when such events happen then you can’t just turn the thing off and have the problem go away. The contamination and its effects on life are permanent for all practical purposes.

What is morally and spiritually important is to live within our means on power consumption. Any power we can not produce by some other means Should not be consumed by us. Sadly mankind seems to have no more ability to do that, then they do to live within their means in a financial sense.

The Japanese Civilians have learned their lesson. Unfortunately- Too late. Some day America is going learn its lesson- Also too late.

The author:

The reactors are 40 years old, bad location and a bad design at that.

The reactors today are a much safer design and I would live near one. In fact, I did live near one, Rancho Seco, the same design as TMI and I wasn't worried.

I'm glad the Georgia company got a permit.

The professional protestors are going to try to get every mile they can out of this.

So, how many people died as a result of the damage to the reactors at Fukushima? How many people in this country have died as a result of radiation effects from nuclear plants? Compare that to fatalities from renewable energy sources, such as hydropower. On that basis, which has proven to be more dangerous to the average person? How does the death toll from the Fukushima reactors compare to the overall fatalities from the earthquake and tsunami?
