The 4-Steps Round Up 02.27.2015

Nuclear Extinction is always that specter floating nearby, waiting for us to falter.  Heads of State are at odds over what should be considered obvious about the deteriorating situation at the #Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.  As the 4th Anniversary of the disaster approaches, let’s learn what’s real step-by-step: 

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

Dr. Helen Caldicott put together a kick-ass symposium this weekend in NYC with tons of great speakers talking about the Dynamics of Possible Nuclear Extinction – you know, that thing that’ll eventually happen unless we get to work on the 4-Step Plan!  It was live streamed so don’t miss it!

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

In a P.R. move to promote ‘reconstruction’ instead of ‘evacuation’, Prime Minister Abe gave the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William a personal tour of #Fukushima Prefecture this week.  But no matter how much the luminaries say the local rice and produce are ‘DELICIOUS!’, the people know better, they ain’t moving back!

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

My prediction about the condition of the plant after that recent string of earthquakes unfortunately came true – elevated radiation levels AND #TEPCO gets caught fudging the numbers at the plant, AGAIN.

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

At least some leaders get it.  Former Japanese PM Naoto Kan is one of those guys who learned like I did, the hard way that nuclear power is a loser, for everyone.  Because of the cost and the waste issues alone, the days of this outdated zombie tech are numbered!
