fark me. im gonna go stock up on tinfoil before a couple of you's cause a shortage. Now its steel eating ancient sea creatures hmmm? beyond WOW.
the amount of drilling you would have to do to cause an earthquake is a lot more than just drilling a hole in the ground.
do you have any idea how much earth is moved in an earthquake? and you think drilling a little hole in the ground is going to help do that?
I guess the folks digging for oil in the gulf were off a little on their target? maybe they were aiming for N.Korea or Iran? Japan just was a misfire?
Come on folks.
Nuclear energy came to Japan after the USA nuked them and made treaties which basically made them America's bitch.
They are the experiment of the future.

I recon it would depend on degree. Arkansas stopped fracking due to...
earthquakes.
Ah, the simplicity. We won a war, said we'd defend Japan because the treaty Japan signed stated they couldn't rearm. We transformed an enemy into an ally, not a bitch.
No more than us, other than building reactors on major faults. Oh? We also did that.
Well. Japan was a society of individuals willing to do the utmost extreme for their supreme leaders...
When their attacks on the US failed...
And the powers that be were able to make profit sharing deals with Japanese leaders...
I would say that the people of Japan unknowingly became the bitches of some of the richest.

Yep. When the imperialist Japanese Empire went capitalist, they bought/buy stuff instead of taking it by degree. We're knowingly [and] unknowingly taken advantage by some of the richest.
Japan incident now classified in same critical condition as Chernobyl.
We have hit threat level 7... from 5... where every numbered increase is 10x worse than the number before it.
Somehow we went from a 5 to a 7... a 100% increase in how dangerous this is.

"The upgraded status did not mean radiation from the plant was worsening, but rather reflected concern about long-term health risks as it continues to spew into the air, soil and seawater. Most radiation exposures around the region haven't been high enough yet to raise significant health concerns."

Hydraulic fracturing is a drilling process that blasts millions of gallons of water for each well deep into the earth to fracture dense shale and allow natural gas to escape.
The water is mixed with sand and chemicals — some of them toxic, some carcinogenic. The fracking liquid gushes back with natural underground brine, a brew now intensely salty and containing barium, strontium and radium from the earth.
In Texas and other states, the liquids are disposed of in deep injection wells; Pennsylvania is the only major gas-producing state that routinely allows fracking wastewater to be partially treated and dumped into rivers and streams from which communities get their drinking water.
Researchers don't know if the discharges are dangerous to humans or wildlife; several studies on possible environmental effects are under way. Drilling companies are exempt from disclosing their chemical formulas.
At least 269 million gallons of wastewater went to treatment plants in Pennsylvania for river discharge in the 18 months ending Dec. 31, according to an Associated Press review of reports filed with the state's Department of Environmental Protection. Millions more gallons of wastewater went unaccounted for because of weaknesses in the state's tracking system.
DEP records also show some public water utilities downstream from plants treating wastewater have struggled with potentially dangerous levels of trihalomethanes, carcinogens that can be linked indirectly to drilling waste.
Most of Pennsylvania's largest drillers say their river discharges are safely diluted but are taking steps nonetheless to reuse the waste liquids and end the partial treatment and river discharges. Numerous smaller drilling operations continue hauling the waste to treatment plants, often miles from drilling sites.
The Environmental Protection Agency, citing the potential danger to human health and aquatic life, asked last month that Pennsylvania regulators begin water sampling for radium and other contaminants. The agency plans a major national study looking at how fracking in the Marcellus, Barnett and other shale regions may already have impacted drinking water — and at potential impacts.
Pennsylvania announced last week that it will expand the scope of water tests to screen for radioactive pollutants and other contaminants, but state officials insisted they aren't doing it because federal regulators prodded them.
The drilling industry insists that fracking water blasted deep underground cannot contaminate underground water aquifers that are separated by thousands of feet of rock. Drilling may have polluted several aquifers another way: by methane gas seeping through shoddy cement jobs in drilled wells in Pennsylvania, Texas, and other states, then migrating into drinking water wells.
In Pennsylvania alone, drilling companies tallied more than 1,400 violations of state laws between January 2008 and June 2010, according to The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association, an environmental group. Two-thirds of the violations caused or had the potential to cause environmental damage, from chemical spills to improperly lined sludge pits, the group said.
Texas regulators do not separate gas drilling violations from those for oil drilling, making an accurate comparison with Pennsylvania impossible.
Fracking, along with horizontal drilling, allows recovery of natural gas from huge and lucrative shale reserves. In recent years, that has set off a gold rush of leasing and drilling activity, leaving regulators in Pennsylvania scrambling to keep up.
President Barack Obama, visiting Pennsylvania last week said "science" must be done to ensure that natural gas is extracted safely.
"We've got to make sure that as we're extracting it from the ground, that the chemicals that are being used don't leach into the water," he said. "Nobody is an environmentalist until you get sick."

Cesium 137 Threat Grows While Corporate Media Remains Mute

The hereditary communist dictatorship in North Korea reports on the spread of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant, but it has all but fallen off the corporate media radar screen here. Monitoring stations across North Korea from April 11 to 17 detected iodine-131 and cesium-137 in the air above Wonsan in the southeast and Chongjin in the southeast, according to the country’s state-run media.
Cesium-137 has been detected in drinking water and milk here in the United States. Cesium and Tellurium were found in Boise, Las Vegas, Nome and Dutch Harbor, Honolulu, Kauai and Oahu, Anaheim, Riverside, San Francisco, and San Bernardino, Jacksonville and Orlando, Salt Lake City, Guam, and Saipan while Uranium-234, with a half-life of 245,500 years has been found in Hawaii, California, and Washington.
Radioactive isotopes spread through the atmosphere accumulate in milk after they fall to earth in rain or dust and settle on vegetation, where they are ingested by grazing cattle. Iodine-131 is known to accumulate in the thyroid gland, where it can cause cancer and other thyroid diseases. Cesium-137 accumulates in the body’s soft tissues and bone marrow where it increases risk of cancer.
While the North Koreans warn about the spread of radiation, the corporate media in the West is downplaying and basically ignoring the threat. On the one hand, the EPA tells us cesium-137 is appearing in milk and water around the country, while on the other telling us not to worry.
The EPA said in March that “while they were above the historical and background norm, the levels weren’t considered harmful to human health.”
The agency sounds the alarm about radioactivity in cigarette smoke while minimizing the risk from an out of control nuclear plant that continues to spew radioactivity.
Something is seriously amiss when the most repressive dictatorship in the world reports on the danger of radioactivity while a supposedly free media and government agencies in the U.S. downplay the threat.

o.k. ... now i could be wrong but how would there be fallout in north korea from japan unless the stuff can travel against the jetstream. yes i do believe the media is full of shit, but the guys who run north korea as a place to get your information? ...... not so sure on that one
Thats kinda the point of the article. That Kimmy is more likely to tell the truth on this issue then Obama... also he did give Japan $250,000 in relief money, Kimmy that is.
I still wouldnt invite him to my house for a cuppa!

i would not invite either one of those clowns to my house .... that said , what i was wondering was how radioactive stuff would flow against the jet stream. weather as a rule moves west to east, if you look at a map you have to wonder how japanese radiation got to korea. i am not saying you are wrong i just don't understand how it could work.
kimmy giving money he does not have away when people in his country are starving sounds like what our politicians would do... i know it's right but it sure seems wrong
It works because this shit is the worst of the worst kind of radioactive shit. It wouldnt take much plutonium or cesium to be dangerous.
The jetstream is taking this right over the Pacific and onto North America but thats higher up in the atmosphere. The wind can and does blow east and south. I just checked the Tokyo weather and the wind direction is southeast at 1 metre per second. I remember reading on another forum that the wind in spring blows southeast. That would mean the whole of Japan is copping a dose of the cesium and most likely plutonium and uranium.
Its fucked.
