Fukushima radiation taints US milk supplies at levels 300% higher than EPA maximums

And the daily Ohbummer:

"While Lovera is concerned that agencies like the FDA don't have the resources to provide enough information, Hirsch sees a potential conflict of interest. He is concerned that the US government may be downplaying the dangers of radiation from the Daiichi plant to avoid undermining support for new nuclear projects in the US. He pointed out that the Obama administration has affirmed its commitment to building more nuclear reactors in the US and has urged Congress to approve $54 billion in subsidized loans for new reactors."

The biggest problem is the ability of the douchebag media to make such things sound alarming.

You certainly shouldn't eat any bananas.  They contains 3,520 pCi/kg of radioactive potassium, about a thousand times more than milk (after you convert from pCi/l to pCi/kg).

. . .and stay away from potatoes, carrots, nuts and beans, because they are off the charts. Surprised I don't glow!

. . .and if you live somewhere on Earth you are really in trouble!

I want just enough radiation so that I can be like Chevy Chase in "Modern Problems"

Aw, but the serious minds need to know this!

A non controllable situation without containment.

What were the qualifications of this "expert"?

You are aware he's simply a university employee who is spouting his opinion, right?

He's a historian that wrote a book.

Did he write the book while staying at a Holiday Inn Express?

That is what movie that is always coming to mind but I can't remember what it is. I"ll have to find it again.

Fuckushima has been releasing 154 terabecquerels per day: 154 Times more than previously Stated

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20110424dy04.htm
the kicker is the original title: Atmospheric radiation leak underestimated ..."underestimated" !? or flat our lied?
I wonder what the real number is?  It would seem that the first casualty in any nuclear mishap is the truth.
The evolution of this thread tells the story as it unfolded unraveled became the worst accident on Earth. Now, Godzilla approaches....wait and see.

 To their credit, the Japanese Government has cancelled plans for 15 more reactors and scrapped the idea of generating half of it's energy from nukes in the future. And if that redirects their R&D into green energy systems, we will be left in the dust.

"The big mess at the Fukushima Daiichi plant continues as the damaged reactors there are still releasing radioactive substances into the environment. A new leak through a cable shaft and to the cooling water intake of the no 3 reactor to the sea was found only today."

Bad news for energy prices, good news for the oil companies.

TeaTown,
You missed that bus over the last 30 years.  Alternative energy is already viable and in place in many other places in the world.

Solar has gone from well over $100 per watt to about a buck and a half per watt for cells.  Wind has had the same development.  Hence the fact that Germany already generates over 12% of their electricity from wind.  And close to the same from solar.

Another couple of industries with good, high paying jobs that we missed out on.  QUALITY automobiles is another.

But we do make the towers up there on the north side of town.

Heir, I didn't miss jack.

I've been on this bull for sometime....watch!

SCARY STUFF....unabated .

[Teatownclown]

What with all of the lying and obfuscations by TEPCO and collaborating world governments, it's starting to look like there must be no "cohesive" long term solution available. Rather chilling, no? Nukes are bad Ju-Ju.

Seems that your source may not have all the credentials he claims.......
