A new post was underway for a few days, and it's almost ready (warning: it's a long one!), but first I think I need to focus on the situation in Japan.
To me, it's not the tsunami and the earthquake, but the radiation emanating from an ever-growing number of damaged nuclear reactors. What can it mean to Japan? What can it mean to the wider region? We still don't know, but things don't bode out too well: officials are incapable of cooling the affected reactors, partial meltdowns have already occurred and a full meltdown migh happen soon, with the underlying risk of a big explosion (and not just a hydrogen one destroying the outer building) or destruction of the protective structure higher by the hour.
Anyway, I just wish the best for the people of Japan... and hope things get under (relative) control before it's too late!
