My good friend always posts about Fukishima and radiation levels that are in fact coming over here to the U.S. too ever since it happened and she's been trying to alarm and warn people rightly so, but it's been too much for me to think about. I live in Vegas, and I'm sure we've already had some radiation waft over here from the ocean, and it's very disturbing to me. I'm sure cancer rates will just keep going up, in Japan, and over here too. I don't feel like these people and places can ever contain this shit as soon as it's out. Plus, I've heard how the Japanese sell all their radioactive fish to us now as their own people are smart enough to not eat it. Yet at the same time, what do they eat anymore? Isn't seafood their main food staple, being an island and all? This is why I don't like nuclear power plants and don't think we should ever build any more when we don't have a good long term plan of how to safely store this stuff, especially when thinking about natural disasters possibly fracturing these places where the waste is stored, etc. This is why I want to see a bigger push towards renewable energy development. I have to say, I feel the most sorry for the animals and earth affected by our idiotic human errors. We don't take them into enough account when deciding to have such dangerous facilities in the first place. I heard they were building another one around there too, right?? I sure hope not! That would be idiotic! But that's humans for you. Partially why I'd rather see us go extinct, but then the animals would still all die too, b/c no one would be manning these reactors.
