Wind power is somewhat better, but you need a relative big turbine to make a dent.

@Bobby1 : that's why there are woods of unused windmills in california. all rubbish by now.

Ufff i need to sleep now... work in 5 hours :(

@WolfDK you get more than 100 watts out of the newer solar set ups. We also have urban wind potential where I am at. These are small and can go where large turbines can't. www.motorwavegroup.com bonus, they are pretty cheap. I want to put these on our huge garage roof. www.oksolar.com

@Edano This should have addressed 30 years ago, what a waste. The US political system is really the root cause of these problems. And it's not a question of who is president. I don't know the answer.
by Bobby1 6/8/2011 1:23:51 AM

@lillymunster solar: Yep, but thats peak eg max output, and you never get there unless you live in the desert, calculate with around 60% of that.

@Bobby1 it becomes a circular argument. Get rid of the corporate influence but everyone in office depends on it to get elected, lather, rinse, repeat.
by lillymunster 6/8/2011 1:25:23 AM

@Bobby1 : your problem is: 8 years of democratic efforts followed by 8 years of republican dinosaurs. i wonder if this 2 party system is a good model for the future.
by Edano 6/8/2011 1:25:47 AM

@lillymunster If its the vertical turbines, yes they are pretty effective. Sorry i did not click your link, really really need to get some sleep.. continue the discussion tomorrow ?

vertical = horizontal

IAEA to survey radioactive contamination in sea

The IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog agency, is to survey the long-term effects of the spillage of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power on the maritime environment in the Pacific Ocean.

The International Atomic Energy Agency made the decision at a regular meeting of board governors in Vienna on Tuesday.

Australia, South Korea and Indonesia will lead the survey on possible sea pollution in the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. www3.nhk.or.jp

Radioactive debris outside No.3 reactor removed

Workers have completed the removal of radioactive debris that was outside the No. 3 reactor building at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Tokyo Electric Power Company finished removing the debris near the entrance to the building on Tuesday.
Work began last month to clear up the debris created by the March hydrogen explosion.

@Majj It would be nice if Tepco chemically analyzed those fragments, it would tell us a lot about what happened to #3.

Scientists Study Ocean Impacts of Radioactive Contamination from Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Newswise — Stony Brook, NY, June 8, 2011 – Scientists from Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) are joining colleagues from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, several other U.S. academic institutions and laboratories in Japan and Spain on the first international, multidisciplinary assessment of the levels and dispersion of radioactive substances in the Pacific Ocean off the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. The research effort is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. www.newswise.com[status]=3&search[sort]=date+desc&search[section]=20&search[has_multimedia]=&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

@Bobby1 I bet they did analyze. A I bed they will not let us now the results. Not in time to do some thin really positive :-(((
by Majj 6/8/2011 2:47:07 AM

They have admitted to a melt-thru. Worse than meltdown.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:47:27 AM

I got this guy walking the streets in Tokyo with his dosimeter!.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:49:14 AM

@AustralianCannonball And that was it. They will sit on it and get more time.... Admitting or not , no body is after them. :-(((
by Majj 6/8/2011 2:49:14 AM

@AustralianCannonball well that is a first. I wonder what agency figured it out and was going to release the info? Bobby, were you not talking about isotopes that show up when burning concrete is in play?
Hope we get some honest calculations so we can estimate if it could burn through concrete.
by lillymunster 6/8/2011 2:49:38 AM

@AustralianCannonball the one who made the video?
by lillymunster 6/8/2011 2:50:01 AM

Yeah. I told him to start making the videos after he contacted me.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:50:31 AM

Feel like I finally made a difference!.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:50:47 AM

@lillymunster Isotopes with burning concrete, and/or isotopes from neutrons bombarding concrete (nuclear detonation).
by Bobby1 6/8/2011 2:51:15 AM

with reactor 3 the concrete would of been very badly ruptured anyway.

Researcher: Fukushima Psychological Care Needs Underestimated A Japanese researcher who has studied the risk of cancer for those exposed to the Chernobyl accident is worried about a different kind of fallout for those near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. “One thing people haven’t really addressed is stress – depression, anxiety, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder),” said Kiyohiko Mabuchi of the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

“Radiation levels at Fukushima are much lower than Chernobyl,” Dr. Mabuchi said in an interview. “But there will be a lot of psychological effects that have to be followed up.” Such effects, he said, have been “grossly underevaluated and underappreciated.” blogs.wsj.com

I've deployed him to some landmarks.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:53:09 AM

He cannot show his face or speak.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:53:39 AM

@AustralianCannonball still it is the kind of info you can't just dismiss.
by lillymunster 6/8/2011 2:55:30 AM

@lillymunster I'm not dismissing it. I want him to expose it.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:56:12 AM

I cant do it from Brisbane Australia.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:56:26 AM

I can talk on camera all day but those readings speak for themselves.
by AustralianCannonball 6/8/2011 2:57:21 AM

Sorry I should re-phrase. He shouldn't show his face or speak. To dangerous in Japan. Just show the readings.
