THE REAL DANGER TO THE WORLD

Japan has just suffered a catastrophic natural event.

Tectonic plates, after a long period of immobility, have shifted.

And the horror story is by no means over.

Aftershocks of great energy could occur in a day, a week, a month, even years later, aftershocks to this very event.

But there is the potential for another, even more serious consequence: nuclear power plants are in danger.

At last hearing, there were two such power plants endangered by lack of coolant and the means to operate the machines which cool nuclear fuel.

I have to say it…if the plants in question were coal fired or natural gas powered or even oil fired, there would be no such follow up problem.

I know, the greens will whine that there would then be air pollution…

Well, dear greens, the world, yes, the world, is now faced with a different kind of air pollution….

It is called nuclear fallout.

I suggest that a modern, emission scrubbed fossil fuel power plant is the way to go….

Because, no matter how clean and green a process is, as the nuclear fans are always claiming, some day, some way, it will fail and spill something which is most unpleasant.

I submit that coal, natural gas, and oil emissions might just be easier to deal with than nuclear fallout.

'Tis a no brainer.
