How do we clean up this mess that has been made by our parents' generation? Do you expect it to go away by itself? Do you expect that wishing that it never was, will make that wish come true? We are faced with over 50 nuclear reactors in Japan. All of them will need to be shut down and their poisons secured. Each plant will cost billions. Someone will make a lot of money - it will be a booming industry. And that boom is coming soon because Japan is starting to recognize that there is no future in nuclear power. <br /><br />Really, sometimes your comments befuddle me...<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-41849218082967637642012-08-19T12:26:18.114-07:002012-08-19T12:26:18.114-07:00Without the help of a dictionary, I have a hard ti...Without the help of a dictionary, I have a hard time understanding the Japanese language from 1000, 1200 years ago.
