That's exactly how so many of us picture you.

FB, They can't flood the containment because there are holes in the containment and the water just keeps flowing out into the ocean. Oh, they tried, but it all just washes away.

They haven't tried to flood the containment... but it isn't as though it's impossible to do. The holes are in steel linings and can be welded (by those same robots that you keep falsely claiming can't go into the buildings without melting). But that's likely years into the future after they remove the spent fuel from the pools. Better to wait and let the radiation continue to decline.

The government of Japan took away the reports of pollution from TEPCO.

Nope. Tepco remains the primary source for radiation reading in and around the plant... which they update regularly. Here's one from just a few days ago - http://radioactivity.nsr.go.jp/en/contents/9000/8986/24/278_k_20141010.pdf

I guess you have been smacked around pretty good by the pro-earth people on ENEnews.com, eh?

Nope. Never felt the need to post there. Best to let the lunatic fringe play with themselves. They are largely beyond helping (rarely even noticing when their nonsense is self-contradictory).
