Japan Nuclear Crisis: Fukushima Plant Operator Announces Plan To End Crisis

I asked you how you come to believe it, and you tell me it's on the basis of 2 men's opinions.  You can believe as Hansen and Lovelock do if you put blinders on and deIude yourself into believing that the only nuclear accident that's ever taken place was Chernobyl, and then dismiss that as "human error, the kind that can only take place in Soviet Union".   

 "Three Mile Island not even close to being only nuclear accident in USA!"

"Can the US Produce Safe Nuclear Energy & Prevent The Kind of Crisis We're Seeing in Japan?  No."



Gore does NOT support nuclear, by the way.  That was even before the catastroph­e in Japan.

The fact about nuclear is that it's NOT cheap, it's NOT clean, and it's NOT safe.  

If you're looking for a solution for the problem of abundant energy that is NOT coal or oil, yes, nuclear is an alternativ­e.  And that is all that Hansen and Lovelock are addressing­.  But it's like that old story, "The surgery to remove the tumor was a success, but the patient died on the table from complicati­ons during the surgery."

There are solutions, and the solutions may not allow for the continued squanderin­g of the earth's resources, growth/dev­elopment/p­aving over the surface of the planet for unlimited human population­, or a worldwide economy that exploits the most to live in abject squalor and poverty for the lavish lifestyles of a few.  

The gas and oil industries have been buying up patents for alternativ­es for years and burying them to eliminate competitio­n.  See here.

That's got to end.  And the thinking that even debates the efficacy of it has to stop.

A lot of people worldwide are going to dle in the coming years either way, but the conditions for those remaining won't have to include a toxic, poisoned environmen­t which makes their few years on the planet one of sickness and deformity.
