There\u2019s a possible breach of the containment vessel, with \u201cmox fuel\u201d a combination of uranium and plutonium.  It\u2019s so highly radioactive, it could render parts of Japan uninhabitable for years, if not forever.  It may be exposing people to tens of thousands of levels of radiation, that will cause cancer or radiation poisoning.  Gosh, if we didn\u2019t allow such dangerous forms of electric power generation, we would never had had these dire catastropies. And Gosh, why must we use so much electricity to begin with?  Are we drunk with power?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also news of a super bacteria found in California hospitals.  The kind that has no antibiotic that works against it.  We\u2019ve already been dealing with MERSA in many hospitals, that is a killer, and there\u2019s no real surefire antibiotic for it.  I\u2019m on an antibiotic right now myself, for an infection.  I sure wish I hadn\u2019t been prescribed them for every little cold I had when I was a child.  May be I could have the immunity to get over it myself, without them.  May be that antibiotic soap I\u2019ve used for years has contributed to resistance to bacteria, and the formation of superbugs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s high time we stop such flagrant consumption of electricity.  It\u2019s estimated by some experts that if Japan used just 30% less, they wouldn\u2019t need nuclear power at all!  Let\u2019s develop and fund safer energy, too, such as wind and solar.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time we get healthier, and take better care of ourselves.  Like eating better, less stress and tension, getting exercise.  Yeah, I need to continually remind myself, too.  I\u2019m not so innocent when it comes to high stress, overwork, and less-than-healthy food on the run.<\/p>\n<p>What can YOU do to help the world and yourself?
