Anyone have any ideas on what planet mankind can take over & destroy next? I'm not liking the news coming out of the Fukushima Power Plant.

Oh my goodness. this is scary kinda....how will that affect the wildlife in the water around there, not to mention the fact that there is now radioactive stuff in the ocean. Not like it dissipates or anything...

Oil in the Gulf ... radiation in the Pacific. Can't be good for our marine life OR our planet's future.

YIKES! That does not sound good at all. Where's a good Moon colony when you need one?

Isn't the half-life of radioactive iodine like 8 minutes or something? Is it as dangerous as we fear? (I don't know the answer to that question -- it sound horribly scary to me, but I just don't really know the facts).

I am not sure the life of radioactive Iodine, but if it were only 8 mins, you would think they would not be concerned at all.

Thanks for sharing with us Sheila.

I would be worried about green fish and what not swimming away...mating with other non-green fish....and making rainbow fish!

Unfortunately, this is not something that will just dissipate and dissappear. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/04_34.htmlhttp://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/05_03.html

well, Chernobyl is still very radioactive. So not sure I'd believe the 8-minute life thing.

Well, at least maybe it won't be so dark in Alaska half the year. Everything will glow!!
