Fukishima Clean-up


Wait, where are you putting the dirt from the ditches?  Where is the water from the street cleaners going?  You can't live or farm there.  Why do you try?  It will take 50 years before it approaches safe..

Getting the cooling and decontamination in line is a good thing! I am the only one mentioning this in the USA.

Japan's Seniors Get It

How One Japan Villiage Survived


http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110518f1.html

The Mayor of the Villiage (Kotaku Wamura) had the hindsight, 40 years ago, to build the floodgate/seawall.

It took that long to pay off, but it saved the majority of the villiage. Hat's off to you sir! The two cost about $200 per person to build.
