The problem is (or at least was) with the people in political chairs playing power games. No amount of better regulations or technology can prevent fucking morons going on power trips screwing everything up and then get away with it. The nu

You literally do not know what transpired. When the tsunami hit and Fukushima #1 lost power and was at risk of meltdown, TEPCO was ready to scuttle the reactors by dumping seawater in them. It would have rendered the reactors unusable, but

I agree throwing any and all future planning out the window is folly. What I was getting at is that if I was 50:50 or even 40:60 now:tomorrow in how I carried my daily life before, it is now reshifted to 80:20 now:tomorrow. Essentially I am
