Japan quakes

[saaya]

0% imho

yepp... i think thats a common opinion in japan...
just look around in tokyo, its really quiet, everybody tries to stay indoors as much as they can, many shops have been cleared by panic shoppers hording food at home... and you know what... they were RIGHT...

first they said food contamination was not gonna happen
then they said food contamination was tiny
then they said they would ban food from fukushima anyways just to be sure
now it turns out they did so because it DID exceed safety limits notably

the government was caught off-guard by the accident’s severity

poor government
here, have a cookie...
dont feel bad... its just a few dozen million people that depend on you... and its not like you are supposedly the elite of society, destined to lead and protect them...

saaya... you are conscious that petroleum prices are going sky high if Nuclear energy is left aside ... not to talk about that all the ambient agreements about co2 emissions will be blown away ...
So... it's not that easy... i defend nuclear power BUT... big BUT with gen3 plants andddd with a great effort to bring out gen4 ...

which is going to happen sooner or later anyways...
and the only way to change things is... money...
lets say gasoline prices quadruple... so what?
no more phat 4ss plasma tv running all day even when nobody is watching
no more turning on lights in every room regardless of whether somebody is actually inside
no more using 5000W clothes dryers
no more cruising around in pick up trucks and suvs just for fun or to pick up a pack of milk from 3miles away
no more driving to work in your own car, we will take company shuttle buses instead or use public transport

yes, it will affect all our lives, but we all know its for the better...
and honestly, this isnt all that bad...
anybody whining about this would get btchsl4pped by their grandparents that lived through ww2 and the great depression if they were present...and rightfully so...
