  1. Great video
  3. Just had a professor tell me that it should take artists anywhere from a day to a week to write a song.

    Didn't know whether to laugh in his face and leave the room or go on a rant of how long I've been waiting to hear anything from U2...

    "Fukushima nuclear power plant radiation recordings of external gamma radiation have been so high this week, they went off scale said veteran nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson on Thursday after the famous physicist, Dr. Chris Busby told the Japanese people this week that radioactive air contamination there is now 300 times that of Chernobyl and 1000 times the atomic bomb peak in 1963, inferring that hundreds of millions of people are now dying from Fukushima radiation, including people in the United States."

    Holy shit! I completely forgot about Fukushima... O.o

    It comes and goes on the newspapers over here... I haven't read about it in something like 3 weeks so I supposed it had gone back to normal... Now I see it's radically not back to normal. Damnit. That thing is out of control and really dangerous for the whole planet. Let's hope that it doesn't get worse (although it probably will) and that people realize the massive dangers of nuclear energy (although they probably won't).

    Well if we want to do anything about global warming, nuclear energy is basically the only way to go.. Unless they can radically improve the efficiency of solar power (which is currently horrid)

    Solar, eolic and hydro powers are the way to go. There's no point in solving the global warming if we devastate the planet with more nuclear disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima, I think we can agree on that.
  9. Nuclear energy would be way to go if it wasn't so risky and if we as a civilization were much smarter. Both Chernobyl and Fukushima happened because of human errors...

    I can only be glad Croatia is nowhere near Japan. When Chernobly happened, radioactive cloud even came here, Bosnia was spared.
  10. Perhaps we could start by not putting nuclear plants in places where big natural disasters like this tsunami don't happen?

    And I'm pretty sure Chernobyl can easily be blamed on human error.

    Nuclear plants are very safe if you do them right.
  11. Yeah, but accidents are... accidents. They're not plannable, they are not expected, they're just accidents. Everything goes right for a while and then, all of a sudden, comes the accident.

    In other words:
    -only way to completely avoid a car accident = not taking the car.
    -only wat yo completely avoid a nuclear accident = not using nuclear energy.

    Pretty simple.
  12. pretty simple and pretty incisive .. bravo Sergio
