Interesting how the flag is displayed. Not a vertical pole.

Something tells me that most of those protesters (and most of the ones against restarting the reactors) are probably NOT the ones having to deal with the extreme power shortages the PM was talking about. It's very easy to be against something when it doesn't actually affect you. Not to mention most of them were probably perfectly ok with the reactors for all the years they were providing them with safe cheap energy. It took a ridiculously huge earthquake and several other factors to make things that bad for the reactors, it not nearly as dangerous as these people would believe.

So, this is pretty tragic. By my math, an extra 20ish people are dying every 10 days in japan due to the reactor shutdown. By the end of summer, assuming the same rate, 180 people will die due to the conditions of japan after the reactor shutdown. Let us count the deaths of all nuclear accidents ever, in the history of the world (only counting direct deaths)

Chernobyl: 56
Mihama plant: 5
INL test rector: 3
Fukushima: 2
Tokaimura: 2
Jaslovske Bohunice: 2

for a grand total of 70. So the worse nuclear disaster in the history in the world could unfold in japan over this summer; leaving the reactors off. This is unacceptable, so I am glad to see they are finally putting some reactors online. This week alone, 10x more people died of stroke then in Fukushima, end the freaken madness.
