Fukushima 5 Years Later

It's 5 years later and these are the kinds of headlines we read:

Market Watch
Nuclear power market still suffers from Japan’s Fukushima disaster

WTF?!?!?!

You know what?

SCREW THE NUCLEAR MARKET!


I won't even bother providing a link to such crap.

SHUT ALL OF THE PLANTS DOWN!


Another site, Business Facilities, has a poll asking if Japan should bring their nuclear power plants back online

IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A QUESTION!

You do realize eating seafood is risky at best, don't you?
That the U.S. isn't testing for radiation in Japanese imports?
That cancers are just about to be on the rise as the 5 year window closes?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?

CHEAP ENERGY?!?!?!?!

DOES ANYBODY THINK ANYMORE?!?!?!

HAVE LIVES NO VALUE?!?!?!?!

And it isn't just Japan
The U.S. is having it's share of problems, too
including
Florida and New York
but that's not all.
There's
Washington and St Louis
and
more!

San Onofre Safety
The majority of U.S. nuclear power facilities are storing highly radioactive nuclear waste in thin-walled canisters that cannot be inspected, maintained, repaired, and can crack and leak in the short-term, with no approved plan in place to remediate a major radiation release into the environment.

And the list just goes on.

We don't know what to do with the waste we have
and yet we are globally approving the building of more nuclear energy plants?

I ask you:
"What part of that sounds remotely intelligent?"
