Radiation from Fukushima nuclear plant disaster forced thousands from their homes and lead to the deaths of many others. Three years since the disaster are the after effects completely gone? Tokyo says yes; also claiming govt is doing everything it can for those who suffered in the disaster. However, disturbing facts sometimes rise to the surface. To shed a bit of light on the mystery of the Fukushima aftermath, Sophie Shevardnadze talks to the former mayor of one of the disaster-struck cities, Katsutaka Idogawa.

...is that Japan never needed nukes. Because they sit atop one of the world's most highly geothermic areas and between that and solar power (and not even including tidal wave power), they could fuel all their needs -- essentially for the cost of equipment, operation and maintenance. No resource cost because that's FREE, CLEAN, NON-POLLUTING AND RENEWABLE. AND DID I MENTION THAT IT'S FREE? -- everything a good Capitalist hates. But then that's the problem. It's always been the problem.
We could be doing the same here.
