Peruvian coffee beans looking mighty good in Tokyo today. Coupled with iceberg water and you might live to see a new decade.
Tepkill and the Diet aren't in the happy thoughts of many Japanese unless they work for them. With PM Noda's party at under 20% approval in the polls, it looks like Shinzo Abe will be returning for an encore engagement as PM and his liberal Democrat party will see if they can right the sinking ship.
Unfortunately, there isn't much any human can do to stop the most unpopular thing in Japan. That's the alien nuclear poisons streaming out of three out-of-control buried coriums at Fukushima Daiichi. Politician lies proclaiming cold shutdown maybe has fooled 99.99% of the rest of the word, but about 100 million Japanese think the government is a lying sack of shit (Excuse my French).
Without total containment of the fissile melted fuel and the massive spent fuel ponds, there can never be a cleanup of contaminated Japan. The fuel will spew for centuries and stories like bad tea 1300 miles west of central Japan will only get worse. Get ready for your new life as nuclear guinea pigs for the entire world.
Madness in Japan…radiation is everywhere.
