Japan is subsidizing Rosatom, who is part of Russia's military complex. To me, that is a problem. Rosatom has moved into every nuclear market with a slow, persistent strategy since the beginning of the Cold War, where corrupt US, British and Australian politicians, finally opened the dam against their progress. In fact, suppressing nuclear energy and forcing old plants to operate is dangerous when we have new technology that allows us to make cargo container sized plants that are cheaper and safer and more efficient. If the US created a giant sterling engine in a central, safe location, then nuclear waste can then go towards creating a tremendous amount of energy for free, for thousands of years, with virtually no moving parts. Such an energy structure would be better for the environment, cheaper for consumers, and, eventually, result in very cheap desalination of ocean water to create a massive surplus. Even uranium can be pulled from ocean water in large quantities, which is also more environmentally friendly than mining it and we also wouldn't need slave labor to recover it. "Environmentalism" is the greatest scam on mankind. It is used to bilk tax payers while operating in a duplicitous manner against the environment it says it intends to protect. Double speak. Easy to dupe people into believing it. Fukushima was a plant that should have been shuttered and or replaced long ago, but I would posit that the "disaster' is largely a media scare with the aim to halt the industry, as a whole. That is... until Rosatom wants to come to your country and build a nuclear power plant. Now... nobody says anything and US politicians are lining up to sell out American interests. Rosatom is building new nuclear plants in 30 countries and is stealing US Bechtel contracts out from under them. Meanwhile, the news tells everyone that Trump is selling the Saudis "nuclear secrets," proving that the mainstream media is on the side of Rosatom. This whole Russian Collusion is another master class in double speak because the entire Mockingbird machine is pro-Russia. The entire Mockingbird machine is pro-"environmentalism." But, only the duplicitous kind. Chernobyl is no nuclear wasteland. In fact, the environment recovered quite well. "Nuclear scare tactics" are the same as global warming scare tactics. It is just to up the price of everyone's cost of living and to increase their dependency on authoritarian agencies. Fukushima knew it had problems for years. It was allowed to happen. Did someone create a tsunami to give it a final push? If someone was actually capable of that, it would be a sound strategy if you were pro-Russia. A lot of people forget that the Japanese had to reach agreements with Russia, too, at the end of WWII. In fact, they probably would not have surrendered without the pressure from both sides. Russia has always sought to have a monopoly on energy. If they shut off the supply line to Europe, they can strike strategic blow to the EU with the flip of a single switch. The over-arching pattern is that Russia has embraced "tax farm imperialism", where they don't need to install military bases and courthouses. They just have to install a nuclear plant, then use the host country's slaves as labor in their mines to help enrich Russia... who is not handing out the wealth in communist fashion. Now, Russia is exploiting a country for its natural resources in exchange for very cheap power sold at a high rate of return. The tsunami, itself, was instructive as another example of corrupt "disaster economics" of which Haiti and Katrina are other examples. In fact, I have a lot of experience in the realm of emergency incidents and I have seen it from on the ground and from in the air. Where society has the ability to do the most good, the most talented of con men are drawn like moths to a flame to take the money of the most well-intentioned. Obviously, many people believe these attacks were man made and they are called "fringe", "radical", "conspiracy theorists." Project Stormfury, as revealed in leaked State Department cables, is the attempt to control the strength of hurricanes by dumping silver iodide and other mixtures high above the eye of hurricanes to increase their strength. In classic double speak, the claim is that they did this to weaken the storm, in the long run, by forcing it to release as much energy as possible while still in formation. Could this have been done on Katrina? Sure. Do we have proof of that? Not that I'm aware of. There is a lot of literature on man-made earthquakes, but nothing near to the scale of what are talking about with Fukushima. Of course, Russia's military has looked into this type of tech. Aleksey Vsevolovidich Nikolayev, corresponding member Russian Academy of Sciences: "A tectonic or seismic weapon would be the use of the accumulated tectonic energy of the Earth's deeper layers to induce a destructive earthquake". It seems there have been a number of attempts by the US and other countries to set off large explosions underground to see if they could create an earthquake. As far as we can tell, these efforts were not able to produce very large earthquakes. We do know how to construct a tsunami bomb. New Zealand and the US participated in the research, called "Project Seal," where, not a nuclear weapon, but a long line of explosives under the water, miles from the coastline, could trigger a large, devastating tsunami designed to attack infrastructure. This research was a logical follow up on the WWII era spherical bouncing bombs that were designed to destroy damns in Germany; a need to attack coastline. It is interesting to note that there are laws against militaries using tsunami and earthquake generating weapons. So, can "we" do such a thing? Yes. MAYBE at that scale. Did we? I'm not aware of any evidence of it. Did the Russians? They deny the existence of such a weapon.
