RE: How long does it take until people care? Venezuela and Japan show: DECADES
oddly enough I know a few people (via the internet) who actually live in japan. They express no worry about demographics. It seems that the japanese don't consider it a problem..they consider it a feature. they have VERY strict immigration policies..and almost NO terrorism..
For some odd reason...outsiders consider the demographics to be a problem. Odd that.
Your remarks about radiation were precious....Nagasaki and Hiroshima have been completely rebuild...better than they were before the nuclear urban renewal.
Venezuela , on the other hand, is in DEEP kimchi. Oddly enough I predicted it would happen when JimmyCarter influenced the election allowing Chavez to win. Socialism NEVER works out well. It's only a matter of time.
Exactly right, great example! The Japanese do not feel the pain because they were able to increase the debt to GDP to 300%. The trust in their currency Yen, made this possible... my doubt is that this can grow to a 1000% debt to GDP without having them worry at some point...
Hiroshima and Nagasaki now have the same radiation as anywhere else on earth, but take into account that very little radioactive material was used, critical mass is about 20kg... now compare that to 3 missing molten cores in Fukushima, where perhaps 200.000 kg are somewhere (leaked outside in the earth??)... No one knows where they are...
I beg to disagree.
They know EXACTLY where the molten cores are...they are a puddle on the floor.
The only thing 'escaping' from the reactors is irradiated water..which doesn't amount to much.
Let's agree on that it could have come far worse if they had not been able to clear the pool on the roof of one of the reactors... this was really scary and we were lucky that no real earthquake happened before clearing it....
700.000 liters a day is a lot of water though... and the puddles close to the stored water on-site is sometimes so radioactive that it can kill a person... even the radiation on Californian shores is double what it used to be... agreed that double the normal level is very low still... but there is no safe-level of radiation... less is better always...
