Here is an idea, which not too far into the future will rank as perhaps the finest to emerge in the entire 21st Century. And not just because this is going to be the shortest Century the human species ever enjoyed on this planet, thanks to Fukushima.
The idea is to send all the supporters of nuclear power from around the globe to the stricken Japanese nuclear complex to help plug the great leak from the sputtering reactors there.
Now isn’t that a sparkling thought – all the champions of nuclear power – marching off to help clean up the holy mess created by their beloved industry? A 100,000 beaming pro-nukes working shoulder to shoulder, pumping water into the reactor core, shifting the spent fuel with their brave and bare hands, absorbing the radiation that would otherwise go into the atmosphere and from there around the globe.
Come on guys, don’t say ‘no thanks’. This is the moment you have all been waiting for. Your moment under the sun, the sun of course now covered by a lovely cloud of radioactive iodine, cesium and plutonium. Finally you seem to have achieved your dream of deep frying the entire planet and its population with a technology you never tired of calling both ‘safe’, ‘clean’ and in recent times ‘green’ too.
