The Tokyo Electric Power Company is incapable of handling this worsening crisis. The Japanese government must turn the site over to a global task force of the world's best scientists and engineers, The moving of hot fuel rods from the Unit Four fuel pool, scheduled to start soon, may be the most dangerous engineering task ever undertaken.
Renewable energy, along with increased efficiency, is more than ready to power our entire planet safely, cheaply and cleanly. It's being shown in Germany and elsewhere that a mix of solar, wind, bio-fuels, tidal, geothermal, ocean thermal and other forms of renewables can provide the base-load power needed to run our advanced society.
No technology but nuclear is capable of inflicting upon us all the horrifying catastrophe now unfolding at Fukushima.
