Actually we kind of did it. The reactors and the site was designed by GE. Those are american reactors. GE was the one who decided to build the reactors on a lower level. And were the people that put the cooling pumps next to the ocean and not use the more expensive submersible pump when it was well known japan had a history of large Tsunamis and earth quakes.They were also the people who put the diesel generators in the basement. And lets not forget the 1000 plus atomic bombs we detonated. And when I said we should thenk them I was referring to the people on the ground doing the grueling dangerous work everyday and had nothing to do with the accident. Its the least we can do. I don't see any one on here volunteering to go over there to work on the site or even coming up with ideas of how to help.
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

I totally disagree that "we" did anything. 'We' didn't explode nukes or build the plants - 'they' did. The entire nuclear industry (as well as all other multi-national corporations) know no boundaries or borders and have duped 'us' into thinking 'we' are the problem for millenia. They did this, not us. They created the problem knowing full well the hazards. The big question is why? Why do engineers and smart people develop substandard designs in hazardous places? Then when there's problems have no solutions except to just let it run its course and expose untold millions to toxins and radiation? Hmm...
There are clean, alternative sources of energy, we've been snowed into believing nuclear is cheap and clean when it is totally the opposite. We DO NOT have a choice or say in the energy being created to meet the demands orchestrated to justify the energy. But we are the ones left to pay the piper, so to speak.
I feel badly for anyone dealing with Fukushima directly - but in reality it shouldn't have happened in the first or second or third place yet minions (those workers) are considered expendable and used to mop radioactive soup. It is not our doing that this happened, it is the nuclear industry's doing. Yet we are the ones directly affected by it. As I see it all the Tepco executives are stooges/minions too.
What IS being done over there is ridiculously (embarrasingly) insufficient. Bagging radioactive dirt into plastic bags then piling them for years that are now ripped and exposed... yeah, great idea. Another brilliant Tepco solution. That is only one of dozens of examples of stupid, useless ideas used to convince everyone 'something' is being done when the reality is nothing can be done to stop this. Just smile and radiation won't hurt you...and Mr. Plutonium is your friend...

I ment we as in US companies not necessarily the american people. But you're post kind of shows what I think is wrong in our society. Its all about the blame game who's fault it is for the situation we are in instead of trying to figure out solutions to the problems we face. Everyone just sits around and wants to blame people for the problem. Well after a while blaming people gets us no where. The big question is not why its How. How do we fix these problems and situations we are in? See we do have a choice in the way energy is produced. You can go to collage and become an engineer or start your own company that produces renewables. You are not powerless. If you sit around and do nothing about a situation you are concerned about you are at just as much to blame as every one els. In fantasy it would not of happened but in reality it did. We might have to change the power structure in the world or change the people who regulate industries. We might have to make advancements in medicine and engineering. But it can be fixed. If you are so unhappy with what is being done then come up with some ideas of how it can be prevented and submit them to people who can initiate them. Wright a letter to the people that represent you in gov. Vote/ Campaign for people who you think will represent your values. Do something, anything, other than sit on your computer blaming other people. It will get you no where. Even if what you tried didn't help at all at least you made an effort. I'm going to school to be an engineer specializing in nuclear contamination clean up ( and working with space probes on the side) because when Fuksuhima happened it put such a passion and drive into me I knew that I wanted to help. I've always been science oriented sense I was a kid so that is the route Im choosing but the are a plethora of things you can do. I have just started and it may take me a while and will be hard but its what I want to do. I hope you can find the drive to help the situation too, big or small it doesn't matter. Because in the end it doesn't really matter who's fault it was, just the outcome.
Ben Harper, Own two hands:
"I can change the world with my own two hands. Make it a better place with my own two hands."
Micheal Jackson, Man in the Mirror:
"And No Message Could've
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That
Change"
John Legend, If your out there:
"If you hear this message
Wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman
Calling ever man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday
And we're already late
If you ready we can save the world
Believe again, start to mend
We don't have to wait for destiny
WE should be the change that we want to see"
Just a thought. . .

Had they listened to the Keshe foundations plans for cleanup things would be much better by now.

Mehran Keshe, the Iranian who claims to have brought down a US drone with his "Anti-gravity" device.
He is a well de-bunked fraud and does not belong in a serious discussion of Fukushima.

How has he been debunked? References/sources, please and thanks.

Also, to add fuel to that fire, it didn't help that the Japanese government passed its secrecy law when people started to really dig into what was going on in Fukushima.
Thank goodness for places like ATS because you never even hear mention of Fukushima on Japanese TV anymore.
But you are entitled to believe what you want to believe.

I was not born with the thought processes to think up the plans to destroy the world and poison it with radioactivity while telling lies about it's safety and benefits to the world.
