Greed and Science discussion at Huffpost

I see no signs that society mistrusts science or engineering. I see society mistrusted big corporations, oil and nuke, governments, human greed, GMO, mass media and its unstoppable lies and propaganda, vested interests such as unions and old school business models.

But never have I seen the vaguest hint that science and engineering itself are mistrusted.

I'm interested in your response, would you trust nuclear if it was publicly-built and controlled, owned by the US, its scientists, and engineers in the DOE? Like a research lab?
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting articles---





It seems a big part of the so called mistrust is based in a greater shift to a religious pack mentality.  

Not a broad indictment of science, and in particular I didn't see engineering enter the equation at all.

Although people may think the travesties of the Gulf Oil spill and Fukushima to be engineering failures, but I think most people realize these are not engineering failures, but failures of greed and regulation, of captured regulatory bodies.

The numbers were a stark blow to high-school science teachers everywhere: forty-six per cent of adults said they believed that “God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years.”

I believe this goes more to a "retreat to the pack mentality" caused by the unbridled greed of the financial greatest theft on earth, drawings people into religion.
Not necessarily a distrust of science and engineering.

The last article also indicates somehow its only the conservatives that have developed a distrust of science, and they seem to be a little crazier than most when it comes to stuff like abortion, creationism.

I wont ever trust nuclear again, as long as humans as part of the equation.   Those who can't see this have their ego in the clouds and their heads in the sands.

Vogtle over budget, behind schedule

And all the players are fighting each other, suing each other, contradicting each other.....sure when something make no economic sense, that is what we should expect.  Sheesh when a $200M plant like Kewaunee is shutting down for economics, why would a $14000M plant like Vogtle make any sense?

It doesn't
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From PowerGen Magazine

The addition of two new nuclear reactors at the Vogtle plant in eastern Georgia could be completed a year or more behind schedule say the lead contractors on the project, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Co. (NYSE: SO), disagreed with the contractors, The Shaw Group (NYSE: SHAW) and Westinghouse Electric Corp., insisting that a delay is not inevitable while conceding that any delay could lead to higher consumer utility bills. Georgia Power blames worker training, increased oversight and stiffer regulatory requirements for throwing the project off schedule, which the company expects could cost an additional $100 million.
Westinghouse and the Shaw subsidiary are also suing Georgia Power and the co-owners of Vogtle for breach of contract due to additional construction costs. They say Georgia Power is responsible for at least half of the costs.
The new reactors under construction at the Vogtle plant are the first new reactors built in the United States in three decades. Regulators are thus keeping a particularly scrutinizing eye on the project, Georgia Power said.

20 mSv /hour!!! Futada Japan



4 Micro Sv/Hour is extremely high, dangerously high

But this town has come down from 30 mSv/H to 20!!!!   After a year.

Sick.   Literally sick.

North pole shifting

Funny, how the last report of the north pole position was over 5 years ago, however in the prior 5 year period, the north pole has move more than in the last 100 years.   hmmmm

Do your own Google search to find 2012 data, it is not out there that I could find.

Yet another reason to shut down this insane technology.

Nuke Robots Dying Left and Right in Fukushima

The reality is that although nuke has some backup plans, they don't have good depth.     And when the SHTF, they aren't ready, except with lies and excuses.

Even the Iodine pills....better than nothing, but maybe not.   They do provide a false sense of security, because there are alot more isotopes emitted during the all too frequent nuclear disaster.

And Iodine only protect against one, the one that last the least time, 8 day halflife.    People are told...if there is an accident take this pill and you will be protected.....sure thats a half lie....you will be protected against radioactive iodine.   BUT NOTHING else.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When an accident happens, and they are all too frequent, no one in government or the nuclear authority having jurisdiction is ready to deal with it.    They weren't at Three Mile Island, they refused to evacuate people when it was obvious that they were taking "husky doses"!

And when it is time to decomission or do a cleanup of an all too frequent accident.  They are not ready either.   In fact, they are never ready.

At Fukushima, their cameras were fried by radiation.   Their robots were fried by radiation, lots of them, many of them never even made the news.      At Chernobyl, the rooftop was so radioactive with debris, that robots would not last at all, so they used Bio-bots, aka Humans.    Their "lifetime" exposure time allowed was 45 seconds of work to run on the rooftop, grab some debris, and throw it over the edge and then run down the ladder to relative safety.   Then you were "retired" for life.   Except some guys went back 10 times....for 450 seconds of total work.

But at least at Chernobyl, they were real men.   They did what had to be done.      They did an amazing fight, and the death toll was high, and the disease toll was in the millions and still counting.    In Japan, the "political correctness" makes it hard to do what needs to be done.    Even some older engineer type volunteeredd to Kamikaze the job, although they wanted a real plan without senselessly throwing their lives away.    Japan's pride wouldn't take that help, at least until now.   Criminal nukers, methinks.

And now the robots....Fukushima is so deadly that robots are dying left and right.

Sickputer provide this info on ENENEWS, and here is the article by ENENEWS



Sickputer
From that article on "Nuclear Firewalker":

"It is the second time such Japanese robotic technology has experienced problems. Last October, a crawling robot developed by the Chiba Institute of Technology lost connection with operators and was abandoned inside Fukushima's No. 2 reactor building."

SP: Poor Tepco…they not only deploy suicide robots, they are liars also. They have lost at least FIVE robots inside Units 2 and 3 at Fukushima Daiichi: Two made by Americans (Packbots) and three made by Chiba Institute of Technology.

RIP Quince 1 lost in Unit 2 June 2011:

"Quince 1 is still stranded in the Reactor 2 building, "for the moment", in much lower radiation, relatively speaking (10 millisieverts/hour where it sits)."

RIP Quince 2 (aka Survey Runner):
"TEPCO announced on July 11 that the robot became inoperable [April 18, 2012] after it was sent to the Reactor 3 building basement at FUkushima I Nuclear Power Plant to measure radiation levels and take the video. The company said it would be difficult to retrieve the robot for the moment because of the high radiation levels."

Rosemary 1, 2, and 3 (designed to last 3 years) went into the hellhold at Fukushima in August 2012 and succumbed without even a death notice by Tepkill:

Seattle Spiking to 300 CPM last week

Since Higgins house and servers were wiped out by Sandy, his very valuable website showing beta and gamma realtime charts is no longer available.

I wrote to him to ask for help on chart setup, it looks tricky, but he very likely has other priorites on his mind.

At this link is a scatter chart of recent readings,

Seattle spiking to 300 CPM last week!
Anything about 100 CPM is cause for concern.     At 100 CPM you have a significant increase in cancer if you stay in the 100 CPM zone for 1 year.

Comments from SKF

From a commenter on EXSKF

http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/2012/11/pm-noda-on-dissolving-lower-house-soon.html

It's always been obvious to me that forgetful, greedy, arrogant, irresponsible, selfish and delusional humans are simply incapable of harnessing and maintaining dangerous technology for lengthy periods of time.
 and another
 I think the Japanese government is going to tax the hell out of the economy regardless of if someone fixes it or not. Japan was already in what most countries consider dire financial straits before 3/11. Now they have to come up with billions from somewhere to put a band-aid on the entire mess. The Japanese should look into using some creative euphemisms for new taxes like "user fees" or "administrative fees" they can look to the US for examples. There was a day long ago when most US federal parks were free now most have a "users fee" titling a car just a few years ago was $12.50 today it cost $100 or more. Cleaning up a reactor mess doesn't grow your economy just ask the USSR. The Russians were lucky because they went bust and dumped the problem on their former nation states. Maybe Japan should turn some of the Tohoku region into an autonomous state so they can abandon it to the world like the Russians did with Chernobyl.

100 Preparation Items for Emergency Preparedness

100 Preparation Items for Emergency Preparedness

In the near future we may see some serious problems.    If you are spending your time on basic items, without a pot to piss in, like the thousands of people after Sandy that had no preparations, then you will be in much worse shape. 

There will also be plenty of opportunities for advancement, and if you have your basic needs covered, then you will be able to jump on those opportunities.

With inflation and a worldwide push to competitive devaluation of all paper currencies, anything you buy now will likely just be more expensive later, so this is not wasting money.    Turn paper assets in to hard assets.    Have a good laugh as you hand someone paper and they hand you back a valuable object.   Hilarious!

The Bilderbergs are Nuclear Economic Hitmen

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nb20121103d1.html

Kissinger is one of the most powerful Bilberbergs

He is a trustee at this group that is forcing Japan to remain nuclear.  

This is how deep the rabbit hole goes.
