We are told we are 1 number under Chernobly, yet 4 are in peril and 3 leaking radiation, that didn’t happen at Chernobyl, yet if anyone comments on it, they call you names and say you are panicking...
I responded with:
You really need to consider decaf.
That was rude. I apologize.
Then I gave the status reports. I didn't see 4 units in peril anymore. I don't believe there are still 3 units leaking radiation. We certainly had a lot of radiation leaking at Chernobyl.
Would you please support the claim of 4 units in peril and 3 leaking radiation with current reports?
Please explain to the rest of the class how 4 Nuclear reactors with explosions are not in peril???
Thank you for the apology. I accept.
As for what I think..I think the ‘all of the above’ uses of energy is needed. I think Nuclear energy could be used safely and securely, with risks of course, because everything has risks. I don’t believe we have mastered it yet. There are always unforeseen events that happen that human minds can’t comprehend, til they happen. I also think clean coal, shale oil, fracking and more, can be used and we haven’t mastered it yet either.
I also think to stop people from panicking and to protect monetary trade and business, the government/s downplay the risks of what is happening. And also the damage that will occur in the future. It is proven cancers are caused by Nuclear radiation, yet the big push is on to downplay that. That makes me angry. We are adults. We can handle the truth. We can’t handle the truth when being lied to, the issue being talked ‘around’ but not talked through.
I also think, being told the facts is imperative. And that is not happening. Or when facts are givin, someone is sent out into the media to deny it.
I’ve noticed about governments you can’t believe their words, but watch their actions..it speaks louder than words.
The U.S. government didn’t ‘order’ Americans out of Japan, no they worded it as ‘voluntary evacuations’, so as to not upset the Japanese people. But evacuations are happening because of the inherent danger. Radiation monitors were added all across the U.S. mostly in the West, that action tells me they don’t believe that ‘we don’t EXPECT’ radiation to come here. Clearly they do and they are going to ‘monitor’ it.
I also believe as many scientist do, that many, many cancers that were not ‘documented’ as being caused by radiation, happened just the same because of radiation, and will again.
It will be blamed on your diet, you smoked, or didn’t, you ate the wrong color food, you excercised too much, or not enough, and that they plain out don’t know why, but the full extent of the radiation cancers won’t be admitted if at all, simply because of monetary reasons.
So a lot of people can say a lot of things, it’s up to each individual to research and find out the facts.
People fighting, bickering, calling names, insulting and threatening to shoot people, isn’t the answer, is it?
Downplaying even minute amounts of the danger of getting a cancer while telling people no harm can come to you, is criminal in itself.
So I think, Nuclear will continue to be used. And we will improve as we go. There are a lot of older reactors that personnally I believe have a lot of people in danger. Things fail.
Governments lie.
Having open talks about it, shouldn’t be suppressed by some.
