So you thought it was over….

“It” is nowhere near “over.’ The Fukushima radioactive event, or “It”  is far from over. Let that sink in… There are four (4) melted down nuclear reactors just a short (DAYS) jet-stream upwind of the USA, and all the euphemistic terms such as “Cold Shut-down” are lies. These melted down nuclear reactors are spewing radioactive isotopes into the air and into the Pacific Ocean at a pretty good clip.

It would be a good bit worse for America if “someone” were not steering the jet-stream up north hard over northern Canada, an uninhabited (mostly) wild-land where the radioactive fall-out / rain-out will do less damage to humans (Humans in the US of A). However, there is a cost to be paid for this jet-stream steering… It is Iceland and the Iceland Ice sheet, which is melting fast. As well, the drought in the US. Go Look at the jet-stream, it is flying about seven or eight hundred miles north of where it should be this time of year (or more), causing droughts & heat waves in the US and melting Ice in Iceland.

Don’t get me wrong, I am glad “someone” had the presence of mind to steer the jet-stream northwards and spare me (at 39 degrees north latitude) the rain-out and metallic taste in my mouth. Hell, I can go out in the rain and no get sick! As for the Icelandic Ice sheet, all that will do is dilute the Atlantic conveyer belt currents and eventually freeze the f**k out of Northern European countries and Eastern  European countries. Since I don’t live there, Oh well! I’m good.

I will be a little put out by the rise in food prices brought on by the drought though (eggs went up 30% this last week, & beef is up 25% in the last 60 days), but again, I have taken measures to mitigate that inevitability (preparations of a gardening / farming nature and food storage foresight). Alas, if it were only Fukushima and food prices, I would be glad… but not so fast, there are 144 Fukushima like reactors waiting to happen here in the US, and 40 or so are upwind  of me.

24 hours without electricity is all it takes to turn your friendly neighborhood nuclear reactor into a Fukushima-like melted pile of radioactivity spewing slag corium melting into a “China Syndrome” like death. Oh! I can hear the comments now… Alarmist, Where’s my data? Fear monger…. Come on! Is there any “safe” dose of radiation? I don’t think so, and neither do many experts that are pretty easy to find in popular alternative media and YouTube for God’s sake.

Yet somehow, the Mainstream News media, the NRC and the EPA are all ‘Mum’ on the subject? Could it be that there are a few dollars of Nuclear Industry Corporate moneys at play here? Say it ain’t so! Would Corporations involved in The Nuclear Industry really put their own profits above the Public Health Good? In a word ‘yes’ they would. So you go on buying what they are selling and when you or your children fall ill with Leukemia,  or your Thyroid cancer migrates to your brain, then you can look back on this piece and yet deny what I have said again and blame it on your ‘lifestyle” or ‘fate” or increased chance of cancer from low dose radiation from radon gas in your basement.

Just ranting,
