While Japan reels from yet another disaster in their "decade of destruction", anti-tunnel lobbying groups are making their voices heard all around Europe.
Today marks the first time a head of state has recognised concerns regarding the issue and it has moved to assuage fears; President Hollande has vowed to cut tunnels by 79% by 2016. This has been seen as a great victory for health and safety concerns and Guillaume Lefitte of "Tunnels? What A Terror!" has released this statement (translated)
"Today is a great day for motorists: no longer will we feel like moles chased by shovels on our daily commutes and trips to la plage. I cannot speak for every person but us T.W.A.T's have warned of this likelihood for decades. Man is not supposed to delve and live under the earth; if we were, we would all have little tentacally feelers on our noses so we could get around without bumping into each other. We are fortunate that we in France have never known the scourge of mining but we hear from our English cousins that anyone going into one of these tunnels can expect dirt under fingernails for a reasonably long time - this moment is also a victory for them. We expect Monsuier Cameron to follow our brave leader's example in the coming days. We are also not ruling out this being a symptom of the upcoming Mayan apocalypse."
This is in keeping with the current "be scared shitless of what happens in Japan" philosophy being followed by most nations in the world. The most notable example of this would be the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster (FDND) in March 2011. A country situated at the join of thousands of miles of tectonic plates fell victim to a tragic tsunami that caused untold destruction and desolation. International support was unanimous and although the UN security council tried to pass a resolution against tidal waves, China and the USA vetoed due to their bare-faced, vested interest in the complete annihilation of any economic competition. Russia took time out from importing chemical weapons to Syria and drinking to denounce this "pacific axis of evil". Iran have garnered acclaim by declaring a fatwa against earthquakes although insider sources claim this is because they haven't done a good enough job in destroying California.
The nuclear disaster precipitated in almost universal denouncement of Nuclear power as an energy source with people everywhere united in a slightly vague, baseless "told you so" attitude towards it all. We spoke to the chairman of the "Countries United: Nuclear is Trouble" about what he thinks should happen with nuclear power.
"Absolute, global abolition of every Nuclear Power station in the world. Look, man has been burning things for thousands of years and you expect us to believe that nuclear power is this 'natural subatomic event'? It's as natural as Heather Mills McCartney on Strictly Come Dancing - and as popular too. Let's just go back to good old coal and be done with it.
We got in touch with some other C.U.N.T's to gauge opinion. Dierdre Fallon,86 from Hartlepool, said this:
"My Uncle Charlie came down with the cancer in 1977. It was because of that bloody plant, it had just been built and I saw in them movies what happens when you go near nuclear power plants what with the extra arms and heads and what not. It's not bloody good enough. And the doctors tried to tell me it was the drinking and the smoking! Can never trust the government..."
Exposure to high levels of radiation is a surefire way to contract cancer and many live in constant fear of the deadly radiation they must be absorbing on a daily basis. One of the few scientific studies conducted on 9000 workers at a nuclear power plant showed no relationship between exposure levels and mortality but people are loth to trust governments, scientists and experts on these matters instead remaining convinced that three-eyed fish are swimming right under our noses - but are being covered up. Fukushima has currently claimed a total of 2 lives (caused by the tsunami impact) and has not to date precipitated in cancer in any of the people in the area. That an aging reactor with obsolete safeguards has to be hit with one of the most deadly earthquake/tsunami combos in history to kill 2 people... we're all probably not joining the dots properly.
To finish, some facts from someone who is not in fact a C.U.N.T:
"The ash released from a coal power plant contains more harmful radiation than any exposure from a nuclear power plant although the radiation exposure from living 'in the shadow' of a coal plant would add 0.5% to our annual radiation absorption from cosmic rays and other everyday sources"
"Much more harmful is the acid rain, smog and monoxide produced by burning fossil fuels, of which Nuclear power plants produce none"
"Chernobyl, the single greatest nuclear power plant event in history, has has a known deathtoll of around 50 people"
"Generic comparison between people killed by cancer due to overeating, smoking, drinking, not exercising, drugs, sun, air pollution could go here. But you get the point"
If these were not good enough reasons to grow a pair, the final reason we should all have nuclear powered televisions and watches:
"As more and more countries turn away from nuclear power, France are selling their own nuclear energy for great profit"
Enough said. A great article can be found here on Germanys decision to abolish Nuclear power and the resulting increase in crossaint's and truffles it will entail in
