With the attitude you expressed here, you are telling people that they have no right to their privacy from Fukushima radiation, because, well... it is like saying we have no right to tell coal companies they need to clean up their act. Or oil companies should not be polluting.

There are universal laws that should be followed or there is just anarchy.

There is responsibility that comes with exercising nuke power. Or there is what we have: A Fukushima radiation cloud spreading around the world.

I am saying that the nuke industry has shown why Einstein was so worried about nukes. The industry takes no responsibility except for cashing their checks. "Fukushima? Yeah, we knew, but it would have cost money to keep it from happening."
