Ten tons per hour, it isn’t like filling your bath tub.

10 tons of water, 10 tons of hazardous waster to deal with.

2500 gallons and hour. A fire truck and pump 1500 a minute.

Actually it's not far off. 10 tons per hour is 2500 gallons per hour which is 41 gallons per minute. A low flow shower head uses 2.2 gallons per minute so that means they are using the output of 18 low flow shower heads. It's not a whole lot of water.

We are NOT supposed to ask questions like that! Don't you know Demi is in rehab! Didn't you see Madonna 'kill it' last night?

The Fukushima disaster may just be getting warmed up (pun intended). The Japanese government is lying about it, TEPCO is lying about this, and our own government is hugely silent. All that water is going right back into the Pacific. Now, please pass the remote because we need to change the channel.
