No, and no. You don't have to be connected to the nuclear power industry to care about the actual suffering that is taking place. Also, you don't need to be connected to the nuclear power industry to recognize media fear-mongering, and the exploitation of a crisis to advance an antinuclear agenda. (As part of their more general anti-western civilization agenda.)

They have already accomplished their objectives -- worldwide nuclear power development will now be set back by decades. All based on fear-mongering -- not actual disasters. The economic, environmental and human cost will be immense.

All I’ll say is if the wind shifts direction towards Tokyo you will see the evacuation of a huge city - and that will be a major disaster in itself with real suffering involved.

It isn’t nice having such a big issues depend on which way the wind blows...

Exactly. The cost in human suffering in terms of energy shortages and deprivation and reduced standards of living will be exponentially greater than anything that physically occurs at Fukushima.

The totalitarians figured out a while ago that privation is their friend. People who can't afford cars and can only afford dense urban housing are easy to rule because they are so dependent. Cheap, abundant energy = freedom.
