@BillRM,

Coal as that where most of our electric power come from and we have a few thousand years worth of supply in the US.


Doesn't help us much if we have a rogue Gaea-worshiping president whose announced intentions are to shut the coal industry down.

Peabody Coal buys coal from U.S. taxpayers for cheap, sells it abroad for huge profit

Comment: Who owns the mineral rights to land? The electorate or the corporation? We can't even dig in our back yard without a permit and corporations are raping the earth without conscience or bounds through corruption and the one always left out are the people in whom the land really belongs to...

@RexRed,
I don't post this Fukushima thing out of a fear mongering type of motive, just a bewilderment.

To preface, I sometimes am not as bright or brilliant about physical science as I wish.

We need to make animals that can withstand radiation. Super organisms. We need to put this whole Fukushima complex in a bubble and send it away into space so it can be slowly absorbed into the sun. Eventually the whole earth (and all of the nuclear stuff we have made) will be absorbed into our expanding sun.

The enormous amount of technology it would take to hurl this entire factory into outer space is preposterous. But still.. it would be nice.

Or we can develop some organisms that can eat the radiation in the air and produce gold or some other useful byproduct.

Or dump earth on it and hope it does not blow us all to kingdom come, (pacific plastic lake of fire and all that stuff).

It seems containment is the key for now to try and contain it till science can figure out this and put an all-out world effort into it. Not simply let its contaminants seep into the earth's ecosystems. It already is. If we contain it it could blow back so the idea is contain till we can neutralize. What if we let it seep into the earth? Will the earth consume it or will it consume the earth? What if we sling shot it out of our atmosphere? What if we last resort submerge it in the ocean?

It seems organisms that eat nuclear stuff seems our ultimate goal and/or they are impervious to nuclear radiation, they could fix this. Aliens... friendly aliens. They would look at our sun like it was a feast. We need a tiny black hole.

I have been putting a lot of thought into this whole dilemma of Fukushima.

What got me thinking about this was while reading The Edda I came across the word Nifheim (mist world). The world that came into being at the place where fire and ice meet.

So instead of burying Fukushima we freeze it. But we freeze it with a very special ice, an ice that we create that powers itself with radiation. An ice that absorbs while it eats and then shuts of at a certain break point. An ice that will not escalate but only eat up to and not beyond certain thresholds. An ice giant.

It would seems there is an ice world that is the opposite dimension as the fire world.

Just as fire can feed off some liquids, some liquids can feed off fire. A nano particle that captures radiation electrons and turns them into cold is an option. These nano particles could be dropped down upon the ground and upon the Fukushima plant and they would freeze the ground and everything they came into contact with and absorb till the radiation ran out and freezing while at it. They would suck up radiation because they are the antithesis of radiation. Thus the radiation would be turned into cold. This is what these cores need is cooling to make them stable. If we cannot take them to a place where it is cool then we need to bring something cool to them. I would think this would be feasible if we were to do a similar Manhattan project into coolant technology to once again, save the world...

Darkness can travel faster than light because darkness (and/or gravity) are not made of the same physical matter that light is made of. Light is limited within its scope because light dwells within darkness. Darkness is made of a much finer quantification of elements. A quantification that far supersedes our instruments to see. Rather we can only stare out into the blackness and wonder at how majestic a world that resides so grandly within what we perceive as nothing.
