@Edano you might want to read this. This guy makes some really over the top accusations about Germany. I am really surprised Japan Times allowed this opinion piece to go out. It is really kind of offensive in a number of ways.

@Peter yes they should have. Someone from the govt should have stayed on. If nothing else they might have been able to help somehow.

@Peter i think they were still trying to get the offsite building working. Did they ever get it useable? I know it ended up full of radiation because the air handling didnt work without power

The Project for Excellence report indicates people were interested in the news even longer than the news networks were interested in providing the information. Folkenflik says coverage of the earthquake and nuclear disaster in Japan serves as an example.
"The media swarmed that issue. It was intense," he says, "but at the same time, they pulled back fairly quickly, before the public was ready to do so."

Article claims there was no fallout in Alaska from Fuku. Did they not look at the EPA readings for Dutch Harbor during the spring????

@lillymunster hahaha thank for that article:
"in Germany, children are indoctrinated to hate nuclear energy. German children don't become interested in politics at a young age; they are indoctrinated by their teachers to follow the politically correct herd."
sorry ? is he talking about germany ?????
"I doubt that any of these protesters even remotely understands how a nuclear plant works and what radiation is."
quite the contrary. every protester understands it.
"They presented Japan as a feudal, inhumane system, thus invoking the old fear of the "yellow peril"."
this is stupid. the "yellow peril" is an anglicism, we don't use that term for japanese. we had no war against japan, we have no racist attitudes towards japanese, as the u.s might have. this sentence shows that the writer has absolutely no knowledge about germany, though he claims to be an austrian. we know about this term, but we do not use it.
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel then broke the law by declaring that Germany would eliminate nuclear power eventually."
sorry ? the chancellor breaks a law ? is that a joke ? she, resp. the german parliament, changed the law, that is very different to breaking a law. this is a democracy.
"Worse, a German company deployed on a post-quake search and rescue mission fled Japan, fearing an imaginary nuclear death cloud."
wrong. the german s&r team did not flee from japan, they left japan, because the govj told them that they are not necessary. of course, the germans paid for this stupid action.
"Here's my challenge: How else should we produce electrical power? Wind? That's horrifyingly ineffective. Solar? Not cost-effective at all. And both are highly dependent on a nonlinear, chaotic system — the weather."
yesterday the german energy agency announced that the renewable power share on power generation is now higher than the atomic power one in germany.

i cannot find any "ANDREAS KOLB" who is related to nuclear power in google.
by Edano 12/25/2011 4:00:54 PM

it seems he is just a stupid writer, not even a journalist.
by Edano 12/25/2011 4:02:04 PM

@Edano he has written other opinion pieces for JT that seemed equally thought out and immature. I could find no person by that name to come up except some guy who is a web developer. I think the JT deserves some complaints for letting that one through. that is far beyond opinion and just someone's unfounded paranoid screed.
