America's Biggest Threat

Let's face it, as a population our country lacks foresight. Its difficult to have a vision of how the future might arise. Even on a personal level having vision is rare. Most people are plundered about from moment to moment with a barrage of mental messages and thoughts, feelings, emotions, negative and positive.

It takes a massive disaster in the form of TEPCO's Fukushima nuke meltdown and radiation contamination to perk up just enough attention to question the present off the cliff trajectory.

So there we have it. Radiation, enough to make us all sick, laying about in reactors a few dozen miles from our greatest cities.

CNN: Nuclear waste: America's 'biggest security threat'

In the United States, 63,000 tons of nuclear waste, the sum total of all the waste generated by decades of nuclear power, sits right where it was created -- at the power plants themselves.


Often, these power plants are very close to major population centers -- Washington, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago have reactors within the 50-mile fallout zone.
