@Peter Melzer "refloat the plant:. Unfortunate choice of words. ;)

I found the source of the twitter outrage
www.enecho.meti.go.jp
1. Subject
Public hearings and nuclear safety and regulatory information business in fiscal 2011 (with incorrect information)
2. Business purpose
Twitter, Inaccurate and nuclear will be published on the internet and blogs
Constantly monitoring information or incorrect information, accurate information on them quickly
Provided, that leads to accurate information, or damage to reputation as a nuclear power plant accident
To prevent.
3. Business
① Twitter, and other information on the Internet blogs and other nuclear and radiation
Constantly monitored, accurate and reputation damage that could result in incorrect information or does not
Study to analyze the information. Media monitoring information and monitoring and targets
How switching will be a concrete proposal.
① above results of the monitoring of ②, which could lead to accurate information not damage reputation
For information and instructions from the Agency or incorrect information, transfer information quickly and accurately.............

@elainekirk I am sufficiently outraged. Are they going to hire HB Gary?
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 9:19:39 PM

@lillymunster should we apply:)
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 9:21:40 PM

@elainekirk heh you'd be a sterling asset, I'm sure.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 9:22:32 PM

@elainekirk LOL. Sure. Elaine and Associates, your choice in PR firms. Mwahaha. :-)

by lillymunster 7/14/2011 9:24:45 PM

So, does the "damaging rumours" law provide for arrests? Penalties? Is this then a veiled threat that the Japanese could be fined for speaking out?
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 9:24:58 PM

@lillymunster @RadioGuy I think it is being read as that I recall they did make provision for monitoring quite early so they must be moving up a notch
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 9:27:05 PM

"How switching will be a concrete proposal." Internet switches? What is this I wonder?
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 9:27:50 PM

Though I cringe to think what their version of "accurate information" is.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 9:28:54 PM

METI is officially desperate. They are lashing out. I guess they didn't pay attention to what happened in Egypt. The first person they lock up for telling the truth that people get wind of would really kick things up a notch. I think people there are way past blind subservience to the govt.

by lillymunster 7/14/2011 9:32:17 PM

@lillymunster so much for seperating the agencies if meti still calls the shots
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 9:33:14 PM

@elainekirk I don't know if the separation has actually been done yet

Watch for another spike in Korea as the counterclockwise storm swirl vacuums out Honshu and dumps it over there.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 9:41:59 PM

@RadioGuy
Korea wont be happy with another dollop will they
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 9:49:46 PM

Suggestions on an appropriate approach to this METI twitter thing? As far as writing a post.
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 10:01:56 PM

thinking Lilly
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 10:17:08 PM

we need to make it clear that the people have support from the global community and that we will ensure their message gets out we will retweet and post and blog everything the people tell us is happening and ensure they get heard
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 10:19:38 PM

@elainekirk Please do.... One planet + Many People = one chance
by leothed 7/14/2011 10:24:46 PM

@leothed oh yes we wont let the people be silenced if we can do anything we will I like being noisy :)
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 10:25:49 PM

@lillymunster Also thinking. But realistically, METI is not going to shut down Twitter. Look how successful Egypt was at that. There are just too many ways around it. Blogs with twitter plugs, SMS2tweet websites, email to tweet Japan can't shut down the internet. So they want to set up "PR management" so they can keep the lie alive as long as possible, I guess.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 10:40:43 PM

Counter-PR, perhaps. The people of the world outnumber them.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 10:42:10 PM

It wouldn't be hard to blow holes in METI's PR. It is so much of the time built on nothing factual. The whole world is watching thing is a good angle. Much better than my knee jerk desire to tell them where to get off. :-)
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 10:54:53 PM

@RadioGuy @lillymunster yes we must support the people so they know they are not alone and keep on fighting.
Gov agencies and companies always get cocksure and think they can fool everybody but with all the knowledge here we effectively have control of the viagra we can make them impotent and they become a flop a soggy , limp flop
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 10:59:38 PM

@elainekirk LMAO! :-)

@elainekirk Grinning... And yet, all it takes is a shrug from Gaia and all their best laid diversions fall apart.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:12:26 PM

that was @lilly too, but my timing was off on the click coment.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:13:18 PM

"NISA has already confirmed the safety of Japan's nuclear power plants." Yeah. Fukushima Daiichi among them.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:15:50 PM

@RadioGuy he didn't say exactly what they confirmed about their safety..
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 11:18:15 PM

LOL... I love that graph that doesn't even relate to what he's saying.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:19:01 PM

@RadioGuy @lillymunster be fair on the chap he had so many prompt guys saying different things in his earphones
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 11:22:03 PM

Definitely feeling the pressure, that's obvious, but he made it all about energy demands. Other that that line and one other "our primary concern has to be that the nuclear plants are safe" (oxymoron) it's all PR about energy needs. Good that they recognize that they're going to need to phase it out. Bad that they seem to write off the idea of giving it up.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:23:56 PM

he confirmmed that there was enough generating capacity for the reduced demand which is good
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 11:25:33 PM

Yes. It's all about peak.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:26:53 PM

tweetdom
shigex_yokohama shige
All contaminated materials and debris, sludge, soil, sewage, vegetables, grains, all of which bear the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi close to making a huge underground facility to store other seafood. Of course, if the compensation is all hand made! Shikanai and this! RT @ rinqo Japan to decontaminate the first storage location would make.
UNDERGROUND!!!
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 11:27:39 PM

We're going to be seeing some real pros at answering different questions than were asked over the next 3 or 4 months. ;)
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:28:04 PM

@RadioGuy I think the anti-nuclear group that put out the paper fans had some statistics about power capacity. The power companies are purposely not running all their non-nuke assets to make it look like there is barely enough power available.
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 11:28:48 PM

I've seen that from multiple sources, though facts would be nice to find. It's a common enough tactic in energy price wars; Enron used it on California to help bankrupt the state. It never seems to be caught till its over, though, and we're all so outrage-challenged by now, that's nearly useless to move people's ideas.
by RadioGuy 7/14/2011 11:33:29 PM

there is a tweeter does the full breakdown I will see if I can find
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 11:34:22 PM

I have the rough draft of the document on how to reduce contamination ready for review at wp.me Still working on the list of key foods and nuclear terminology that would be additional references.

If you have things to add, remove, reword etc. let me know.
by lillymunster 7/14/2011 11:40:24 PM

@lillymunster @lillymunster ooo I go looky that was before just been reading and it is awesome
by elainekirk 7/14/2011 11:49:06 PM

@lillymunster at the end know of in our Japan Aid Resources list of link on our website at www.simplyinfo.org is there a direct link to the resources
