Japan Restarts Oi Nuke Plants



Protesters abound.. I would think they were tired of all the power cuts and let this one go? Seems like a safe location, been over a year..

Fukushima Debris Heads To America

It's ok, I have seen enough US beaches (even Hawaii) to say; this will look like any other day.  It won't look anything like the picture above BTW.

Japan's Power Shortages

With Fukushima being out of commission, to spread out the work hours to save electrical power, parents need to work weekends. What to do with the kids?

How One Japan Villiage Survived


http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110518f1.html

The Mayor of the Villiage (Kotaku Wamura) had the hindsight, 40 years ago, to build the floodgate/seawall.

It took that long to pay off, but it saved the majority of the villiage. Hat's off to you sir! The two cost about $200 per person to build.
