RE: The nuclear situation in Japan is getting worse, experts worry about other plants in seismic zones
I'd also like to add my thought on energy usage.
Many complain that the industrialized nations (especially the U.S.) use too much energy.
I strongly disagree.
I fully believe the problem is that too many people don't use enough - because it's not available to them.
Modern living, lifestyles, health care, production of wealth, longer lives, lifting the billions of poor out of poverty requires they all have more energy to work and advance with.
I don't want to live with less. I want EVERYONE to live with what I have.
Turning back is NOT the answer. Moving ALL people forward is.
I must also say that a world population of about 3 billion is a goal we have to go for. My wife and I had no children. We chose to adopt. So we not only didn't "just" replace ourselves - we didn't even replace one of us.
Advanced living for all will help reduce world population as the old agricultural need for large families goes away.
Let's get clean energy for EVERYONE in very generous amounts and all live a better life.
