The 4-Steps Round Up 02.13.2015

Understanding the severity, complexity, enormity and potential finality of the problems at #Fukushima Daiichi is what WE do. Calling the situation at the wrecked plant a ‘triumph’ for an industry that should have FEWER safeguards to make it cheaper for everyone is what THEY do.  Here’s how we really triumph, step-by-step:

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

With EPA limits 12x the safety limits in fallout contaminated Japan, the U.S. has NO problem being the 2nd largest importer of Japanese agricultural products in the world.  Ummm, yay or YUCK!

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

If wild monkeys in #Fukushima are showing highly elevated cesium levels in muscle tissue and troubling white blood cell counts in babies, what about the human moms and kids still stuck there? http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140724/srep05793/full/srep05793.html

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

The Economist put out a sobering overview of the problems at #Fukushima Daiichi this week but it’s just the tip of the iceberg (or ICE WALL) that #TEPCO has crashed into.  http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21642221-industrial-clean-up-without-precedent-mission-impossible

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

The more the nuclear bad guys try to push their 70’s tech on us, the dumber they sound.

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

Just because there’s a ceasefire in Ukraine doesn’t mean the threat of nuclear armageddon doesn’t hover above us every day.  This Valentine’s day, challenge yourself to say I Love You to someone EVERYDAY until next V-day and spread peace every where you go.  That’s what Sister Megan would want 😉
