"...Remember that one of the waves went inland for 10 kilometers. How do you prepare for that? "

We cannot make life safe. We can make it safer, but not safe. We have become such an arrogant and stupid species...greedy too. We want this planet to be run for US. We want all the wonderful things technology has brought us, all the comforts we have, but we don't want to think where it's coming from, what's behind it all.

One thing we can prepare for is to ensure this exact nuclear situation never occurs again. How? By facing up to the end of nuclear power altogether. By admitting we allowed something so horrific to be used to keep us all comfy and cosy...and that we must never again put our own species or others, in such a nightmare situation.

This of course, will mean sacrifices. Not human ones though, material ones. It will mean a very different way of life, but you know what, our ancestors lived their lives simply and survived, left the world in a good state for us, whilst we are tearing it apart for our children.

I'd quite happily go back to candles, suffer the inconvenience of life as it was, rather than live with a Nuclear Nemesis.

If we don't do this, if we don't start using other forms of power, using far LESS power in the first place, living with nature, rather than killing it off, then we have no future to plan for anyway...

The choice is ours.

We need to have our own Countdown to Meltdown...and the meltdown with us is to stand up and say "NO MORE! NEVER AGAIN!"

Nuclear power isn't safe, it never has been, it never will be..and for Jiminy's sake, this stuff stays radioactive for tens of thousands of centuries!

The question to ask is WHY we were SO stupid in the first place????
