That is fucking ridiculous.

BP Oil Spill


You are simply latching on to fear rhetoric and spreading it.
Look at the facts.

The Fukushima problem is no where near that of the BP oil spill.

Based on these estimates, up to 75 percent of the oil from BP's Gulf oil disaster still remains in the Gulf environment, according to Christopher Haney, chief scientist for Defenders of Wildlife, who called the government report's conclusions misleading. Haney said. "Terms such as 'dispersed,' 'dissolved' and 'residual' do not mean gone. That's comparable to saying the sugar dissolved in my coffee is no longer there because I can't see it. By Director Lubchenco's own acknowledgment, the oil which is out of sight is not benign. Whether buried under beaches or settling on the ocean floor, residues from the spill will remain toxic for decades."[2

Get off the fear wagon because that is truly the one wagon that makes mankind
fucking stupid.
