People being concerned would be necessary for the situation to be taken seriously by our rulers. It's strange to me, how all my life there have been huge ruptions from the mainstream green movement, whena tiny bit of radioactive crap leaked out of some power station somewhere, anywhere, except in Russia or China.

Just  a little leak would spur an international protest. Then Chernobyl happened and we had stories of heroic workers who saved the world, but little in the way of action to stop nuclear development.

Then Fukushima blows up with year's worth of all its spent fuel stored on the roof, throwing it miles into the air and distributing it all over the area, and obviously into the sea as well. The 'clean-up' consists of covering the fuel with a bit of topsoil. The clean-up management is handed over to private companies who hire in unskilled homeless people and do virtually nothing, while the 'professionals' wring their hands and do virtually nothing.

The "international community" does nothing, and accepts the 'authority' of the idiots who caused it when they refuse any assistance. The people who previously were making a huge fuss about every little leak in every station they found out about remain virtually silent as huge amounts of radiactive crap spews unhindered into air and sea, and still, after years, continues to spill at the rate of thousands of gallons a day.

So we look around to see what all those professional "environmentalists" are doing instead. They are all too busy doing bad research to support the carbont tax scam being foisted on us all.

Just my opinion, but I think it's all being ignored because of government. Govern means control, literally. If you ask a roofer how to improve your house, he'll try to sell you a new roof. If you ask the government how to solve a problem they'll sell you more government, i.e. control. The climate change thing offers a chance to increase control of everyone massively. Our use of energy pervades our lives, it's in almost everything we do, so government, i.e. control finds that interesting.

Fukushima, on the other hand is our greatest example of "out of control", indeed, uncontrollable, and thus is of no interest whatsoever to government. That's why there is virtually nothing in the mainstream media about fukushima, except lies to make us ignore it, and almost every page has scary stories about global warming.

Perhaps the mainstream media are right, and fukushima is not really a problem. But government and the people who built it and are responsible for the situation (building it right next to the sea in a known tsunami area!) are not the right people to be in charge of determining risk and organizing remedies.
