Axil, They are now estimating the Fukishima cleanup @ 58 Billion, which their children will pay for and I am sure that estimate will go up and does not factor the cancer risk. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes and Solar Flares will continue and it is a matter of time before another Fukishima or worse happens again. I think we are at a crossroads on this planet and someone with the courage in government needs to turn the rudder at least a hard 90 and eventually a 180.
