@Edano is that in Germany?

dang. Is the grid payment there too?

The train blockade and the mention below about big companies not paying for the smart grid.

What is news this week so far is the concentrated contamination floating across the Pacific. The major media is completely ignoring it or making minor mention. It was across the international date line by July and is likely already in US waters or along the coast and we have no plans to monitor it at all.

The other bit that is news is TEPCO's video dump. I didn't have time to go through it yesterday but plan to today. MIA has been going through them and said there is tons of nasty damage and building cracks etc. I think that TEPCO dumped them on an unknown page without any media attention over a bank holiday is significant

I may run a story this morning on the blockade. Maybe it will put the idea in more people's heads that they can protest and disrupt things like that.

@Edano ah, illegal, that needs to be challenged from time to time. :-)

Small consumers burdened
Government provides electricity wholesale customer loyalty

Secretly, quietly, the government has decided in the summer scheme, which developed large electricity customers and small consumers burdened. Now the clause has been discovered and ensures trouble.

The federal government has industrial companies and other current special customers a newspaper report that relieves a billion sum and the costs imposed on the small consumers. Companies without large fluctuations in consumption over ten gigawatt hours of electricity per year need to be exempted from fees for the power grid, told the "Frankfurter Rundschau". The cost would not evenly distributed among all consumers: Those who consume more than 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, must co-finance the bonus for the industry, only a small part. The majority of deceptive small businesses and residential customers.

Households would be so in the coming year to pay more than three percent more for their electricity bill - for a three-person household with a consumption of 3,500 kilowatt-hours this means an increase of more than 26 euros, the newspaper calculated on the basis of calculations of the power company. The industrial enterprises and power and industrial customers would relieve the other hand, by a total of 1.1 billion euros, the newspaper reported, citing an estimate by the Federal Network Agency.
Control even in professional circles was noticed

The energy expert of the Association of Consumer Organizations, Holger Krawinkel, spoke of a "one-time mess." "Relieve the massive industrial and let alone the small consumers pay the bill, is an impertinence, which is unprecedented," he told the "Frankfurter Rundschau".
Keep everybody happy

Rid the system, large companies from the fees for the electricity networks, have inserted the coalition in the summer in the adoption of the energy package as part of the nuclear phase-out at the last minute. Even in professional circles, this was not noticed at first, the newspaper reported. According to industry estimates, thus benefiting hundreds of large enterprises such as manufacturers of building materials from the scheme. www.n24.de (translated)

Hubby said he remembers some from the 80's.

i think in other countrties than germany those waste transports are not a subject for protests, but people should think about it. somewhere the mess is being transported.

@Edano It used to be in the public mind here in the late 70's after TMI. I remember some minor protests where they blocked the tracks
