Surviving Capitalism (Not) : 28 Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

28 Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima

While I don't think that the evidence he provides supports the title, still he gives us a valuable up-to-date collection of evidence and projections which are very worrisome given the fact that Japan's Tepco corporation is unable to stop the spilling of radioactive material into the Pacific ocean.

Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. That means that the total amount of radioactive material released from Fukushima is constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in our food chain. Ultimately, all of this nuclear radiation will outlive all of us by a very wide margin. They are saying that it could take up to 40 years to clean up the Fukushima disaster, and meanwhile countless innocent people will develop cancer and other health problems as a result of exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation.
