Conventional wisdom ...It's my pleasure Jessica. Conventional wisdom when it comes to radiation is pathetic as you're well aware. For a week we've been hearing the screams of the scientifically ignorant as they call for zero tolerances when it comes to acceptable levels of radiation exposure. Um. Really? You're going to eliminate radiation?<br /><br />That kind of ignorance drives me crazy and the paranoia surrounding radiation and radioactivity actually holds us back as a society.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-91470789381664824672011-03-20T21:59:05.728-04:002011-03-20T21:59:05.728-04:0024 hour cable news is the worst development in hum...24 hour cable news is the worst development in human history. Turn it off and leave it off. I swore off the stuff years ago and I feel like I'm better informed now then I was when I on the cable news train. By reading my news rather than watching it, I have to do the work of figuring out what it means. In traveling this winter I did get the chance to watch a good bit of Al-Jazeera. It's amazing to watch a news broadcast that's devoid of punditry. Ask your cable company to start carrying it. I have. Repeatedly. I'm not holding my breath.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-75477416797640830272011-03-20T21:14:03.371-04:002011-03-20T21:14:03.371-04:00Equal to the irrational fear is the insistence tha...Equal to the irrational fear is the insistence that we send over massive amounts of help to Japan immediately! Never mind that Japan has not asked for it and that they are capable of handling the emergency themselves. (yeah, I gots me a blog post tomorrow on that!) <br /><br />I'm not being dismissive of the tragedy unfolding, but I think we need to respect their ability to help themselves and not be so quick to decide for them what is best just so we can feel good about ourselves. <br /><br />And we can't keep burning stuff for energy. More people have died extracting coal from the ground than have died from producing nuclear energy. To listen to all those idiot experts with their worst case scenarios on cable news.. I finally just had to shut it off; it was getting silly.Rufus Dogghttp://www.dogwalkblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-76734053182864264182011-03-20T12:42:24.373-04:002011-03-20T12:42:24.373-04:00The energy future is in the waves and tides and ye...The energy future is in the waves and tides and yes, nobody in North America spends nearly enough money on R&D.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-33028915262701518242011-03-20T12:34:19.273-04:002011-03-20T12:34:19.273-04:00I'll disagree only in the respect that for wha...I'll disagree only in the respect that for whatever reason, in North America nowhere near enough effort is being put into other sources of energy. Wind power generates 30% of the energy requirements in Denmark. Solar and wave technologies can provide similar benefits.
