Concrete man comments

This latest news shows how nuclear power is safe, clean and economically efficient. Anyone who cannot see it must not be an economist or a technocrat (economics is an advanced form of brain disease). All joking aside, please see these articles/reports:

Japan’s Nuclear Disaster: Radiation Still Leaking, Recovery Still Years Away?http://dissidentvoice.org/2011/09/japan%E2%80%99s-nuclear-disaster-radiation-still-leaking-recovery-still-years-away/

Must read article about how nuclear power is on the way out! in depth research from Worldwatch Inst. http://www.worldwatch.org/system/files/pdf/WorldNuclearIndustryStatusReport2011_%20FINAL.pdf

By the way, I was at a conference at Rikkyo University a few years ago and the long winded speaker, Professor Osamu Abe who is one if the "leading" "experts" at Rikkyo and in Japan in "environmental education" blathered on for several minutes putting the audience to sleep, and pre-empting his guest, Lester Brown, founder of Worldwatch. Brown gave an interesting speech scolding the researchers that Japan should do more to develop geothermal energy (some progress being made there, see Eric Johnstone in the JTIMES recently). Now, I have my problems with Brown and WW, too liberal and apolitical, but the man was barely given 20 minutes to speak after flying all the way from the Netherlands! And when he spoke his microphone didn't work. I have met Professor Abe and he is a blithering idiot. He asked me after I finished my degree in environmental studies if I was "going back to America"? I said no and asked how I could find work in the field in Japan. He told me to look in the Japan Times!

Good article and I applaud someone who attempts to tackle such an important issue. One quibble, all of the categories of stupidity and corruption could equally if not more so be applied to the USA or other so called Western Dumbocracies. And this is from someone who has lived in Japan for years and is thoroughly disgusted. Keep up the good work though Chris. Please see my latest article:

Japan's Ongoing Nuclear Disaster and other articles on the topic.

Thank you.
