Nuclear unclear

For almost a week now the world has been given the impression that things are pretty much under control at the nuclear power plant that was affected by the earthquake and Tsunami to hit Japan.

During that time sceptics, including myself, have wondered whether we were being told everything, but the world was somewhat reassured as articles were written, by experts, talking about how well the design of the structure and containment held up to these extreme and devastating circumstances.

Of course we know these were most unusual circumstances, they weren't circumstances that most of the world's 200 or so nuclear reactors will face on any normal day.

Nevertheless the reality is that we live on a planet where these circumstances are more than just likely or probably. Events like Japan has experienced are guaranteed to occur, we know they will but what we don't always know is when or where.

Now more and more reports are coming out that Japan may be facing one of the biggest down sides of the use nuclear power, and despite this there will still be those who will try and tell us that nuclear power is a safer and cleaner option … 

... Turn It Up.

Japan's radioactive warning to energy options


The earthquake and Tsunami disaster in Japan last week may yet be eclipsed by a nuclear disaster, and our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected in the region, and we all hope that authorities get the reactors under control....quickly and safely.

The whole thing is yet another a reminder that we live on a dynamic planet.

Between the effects of the sun, above us, the universe around us, the molten core of the earth beneath us ...and upon which the crust floats and our continents constantly move around.  Then there is the atmosphere, the oceans, and all within, that sustains us.

It also reminds us that there are many more factors involved in the future of our civilisation than just thinking about carbon or even carbon dioxide.


The current nuclear crisis across between four and up to a dozen locations in Japan is a sobering reminder of the very real dangers to be considered.

Sure producing electricity from Uranium may seem like a cheap alternative but to call it a safe one ...

.... Turn It Up.
