Japan’s Government and the NRC are now submitting conflicting reports.

correlationstonone:

The NRC says there is no water cooling the spent fuel in one of the reactors. Japan is conflicting that report, because it probably means a big, fat meltdown and panic would be more deadly than this might already be.

Chernobyl, meet Fukushima?

Really trying to stay calm about all of this and accept it as “yeah, things are going to be a lot different from now on,” and do the whole move-on-with-daily-life-gig.

The sad thing is, and I almost hate to be saying it, but I feel like something like this needed to happen.. I know of pessimistic types who honestly wanted something to go to hell because they’re sick of watching the mismanagement of resources and corruption running rampant; that’s the feeling, the feeling that natural forces have to give us a wake up call before we finally decide to pull our heads out of our asses.

Maybe they were right,
I’m not saying this is the first instance of minor transparency for our government and others, (just look at what happened with Hillary and Ray Mcgovern a couple weeks back) but it’s getting progressively more difficult to have faith in these constructs that were supposedly put in place to improve the quality of life for the human race.
I’ve been saying this for a long time and I don’t think it comes as any surprise to anyone, but we can’t keep doing things the way we’ve been doing them. Doing that, something eventually happens to upset that system.
