Japan is the country that has been linked mostly with the environmental pollution for many years. There are many examples verifying that fact. The uncontrolled illegal whaling, the increasingly rates of the air pollutants and of course the recent accident in Fukushima. Japan is a global environmental threat. Please read these greenpeace's reports to understand the size of the disaster.

This catastrophe proves the government's weakness to control the situtation as everything is relying on the private companies. And for the time being the Japanese and the whole planet is depending on the willing and the responsibility of some privates, who keep on their hands the nuclear power.
The capitalistic free market should have some restraints. Nobody should be so privileged against the big masses.
This is a very interesting issue Fotis! States and people must have some kind of control on such risky decisions. The use of nuclear energy is a very crucial factor in terms of the world security, while it brinks up the matter of the limited ability of the today states to deal with these types of problems!
ReplyDeleteIt is very depressing the way some economical thugs, some thieves so called "experts" control the global financial, energy and political system. The exaggeration of the free markets access creates that kind of problems. The concept of the STATE has completely lost his value, unfortunately.
