Jack sent me the following from Huffington:
"Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine," he [David Suzuki] said.
"Three out of the four plants were destroyed in the earthquake and in the tsunami. The fourth one has been so badly damaged that the fear is, if there's another earthquake of a seven or above that, that building will go and then all hell breaks loose.
"And the probability of a seven or above earthquake in the next three years is over 95 per cent."
Suzuki said that an international team of experts needs to go into the Fukushima plant and help fix the problem, but said the Japanese government has "too much pride to admit that."
"I have seen a paper which says that if in fact the fourth plant goes under in an earthquake and those rods are exposed, it's bye bye Japan and everybody on the west coast of North America should evacuate," he said.
"If that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is."
A 95% chance "all hell breaks loose" on Canada's west coast in the next three years. And he hasn't moved? Why not?
- Possibly he has confidence that, with his urging, teams of international engineers will fix the problem.
- Possibly he doesn't really believe it and he is just fear-mongering.
- Possibly he likes to live there and is willing to take his chances.
