The 4-Steps Round Up 05.29.2015

#FukuFighters come in all shapes and sizes with one common denominator – doing the work to save the people of Japan every day!  They’re learning that in Japan and the results are starting to show in the most unlikely places.  Find out more about how to take down the radioactive dragon we call nuclear energy once and for all, step-by-step:  

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

Kevin Blanch is a controversial figure in the fight for #Fukushima but don’t let his coarse language or wild style fool you, there IS a method to his madness and he’s the genuine article when it comes to this sh**.

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

The coalitions in Japan who are suing TEPCO are uniting to the tune of 20,000 strong.  In the face of a government that wants you to MOVE BACK into the radioactive areas, what choice do they have?

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

The lead bad guys, the IAEA is starting to scapegoat #TEPCO, finally!  Maybe between the lawsuits and the losses, we can finally give them the pink slip #FIRETEPCO

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

People think it’s naive of me to say Step 4 is doable and necessary.  I think people need to pay more attention, it’s already happening.  Take away their easy-money subsidies and what have the got?  Nothing!

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

One of the things I was reminded of at a conference I attended this week is that in this fight, not everybody’s friends necessarily are OUR friends.  Just remember that we all don’t have to get along to get the job done.  You do you and make as big a noise as you can, the rest of the squad will do the same 😉
