We could see the cooling towers from there and large clouds of steam were flowing from them. It was a cool humid day with clear skies, but the steam from the cooling towers was remaining in the atmosphere and actually seeding the development of a line of clouds heading straight over us. At times light rain fell from the clouds, the implications of which scared the hell out of me.<br /><br />I have never felt secure with our ability to harness nuclear power as a viable clean and safe option for power generation.Bluebear2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14951033337358355699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33147437.post-70689853202483224602011-03-13T21:37:25.170-07:002011-03-13T21:37:25.170-07:00As for the radiation, I would say it could be anyw...As for the radiation, I would say it could be anywhere from insignificant to lethal. No way to tell. All I know is that the Jet Stream is going directly from Japan to my house and it is discomfiting in the extreme.<br /><br />This all reminds me of my oft-repeated remonstrations with Homie about how nuclear power was NOT something to which Iranians should aspire, that it was dirty and lethal and, if they want to be world leaders, they should be using all that brainpower on something transcendent and new, but my only response from her was the old ad for nuclear power when the Shah was still in power.<br /><br />She is hopelessly nostalgic for the Shah. I hate to say it, but that is what it boils down to. I cannot get it through to her that the vast majority of her countrymen are dead set against it. She was far too Americanized... to include this thing for joining the world of nuclear power morons.wimpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073194470627227599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33147437.post-65580918078507304622011-03-13T21:31:55.221-07:002011-03-13T21:31:55.221-07:00Earlier, Blogger would think I was trying to leave...Earlier, Blogger would think I was trying to leave the page whenever I started typing in the code for a link. I kept having to click "Cancel" in order to keep writing my post. I was wondering if it wasn't something happening with my screwy new Magic Mouse. It's fabulous for scrolling, but it has a tendency to make all manner of weirdness too... not exactly a mouse with all the bugs worked out.... But maybe it is Blogger being obtuse today. I just know we have to roll with the punches or go bald from pointlessly tearing out our hair....wimpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073194470627227599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33147437.post-63464671214697125372011-03-13T21:22:59.479-07:002011-03-13T21:22:59.479-07:00Allowed me to make a link that time!Allowed me to make a link that time!Bluebear2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14951033337358355699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33147437.post-15781511966824195372011-03-13T21:22:18.785-07:002011-03-13T21:22:18.785-07:00Greenpeace chimes in<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzNQa9x9h-0&feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">Greenpeace chimes in</a>Bluebear2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14951033337358355699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33147437.post-37822782427586543842011-03-13T21:15:12.684-07:002011-03-13T21:15:12.684-07:00If there is a large release, I wonder how much rad...If there is a large release, I wonder how much radiation would make it this far.
