@BillAckman@elonmusk@Ukraine A state, to be a state, must be able to defend itself, without reliance on other states. That's the definition of a state.
The point is, there hasn't been enough thought given to alternatives to permanently poisoning a major food source for humanity. Hopefully cooler heads prevail here.
They could also freeze the water to allow it to be transported in refrigerated containers to an area that has permanent freezing temperatures, like Antarctica.
The alternatives are more expensive than just dumping that water in the ocean. They can mix a solidifying agent to turn the liquid to a solid, allowing the radioactive elements to be transported to a more practical location for storage.
The meltdown creates massive amounts of highly radioactive water, which keeps the damaged reactors from melting down further. Until now, Japan has been storing that water in tanks. But they've run out of tanks and space, so they're going to dump the water into the Pacific Ocean.
Most have forgotten about the massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown that occurred in 2011 in Japan. However, consequences of that meltdown are about the escalate, with catastrophic consequences.
@maxkeiser I was reading up on ES etiquette, Max, ans they said local adult males don't wear shorts in public, except at the beach. Only Americans do this. Hopefully you start a trend before I move there. I hear it gets warm there.
@ScuderiaFerrari I think Ferrari has discovered the problem, and it turns out to be Ferrari. Firing Binotto will not fix your decision-making. You needed to hire a good strategist. But you just keep making bad decisions. Tragic.
@wtf1official They need a strategist extraordinaire. Hannah from Red Bull. But Italians have a reputation for not taking women seriously. So keep Binotto and hire her. As a strategist. And take her seriously.
