What is the definition of insanity? Isn't it doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results? Chernobyl has left entire regions uninhabitable for literally thousands of years. Fukushima has just passed the eight year mark, still not resolved, and still contaminating the Pacific. Yet, our mentally ill species still clings to nuclear power. Did Japan reconsider? No. Did Russia reconsider? No. There will be more accidents, it's relatively certain, and for the entire length of time nothing happens it's still nuclear war in slow motion; for all the time things run smoothly there is spent fuel that is toxic to all life on the planet - which we sweep under the rug by burying it. And of course, now we have a nuclear lobby which buys political support.

Back to this mini series... This show is poignant as ever. We are a species that vilifies carbon dioxide, which we by design of nature exhale and plants inhale, while letting this industry, one capable of contaminating our environment and ourselves, flourish. There is a sense of dread and anxiety that shows like Game of Thrones wish they could achieve. We are watching something that is generally based on reality which makes that anxiety both real and warranted. While I highly recommend anyone to watch this I do think everyone should be reminded of the very real danger this industry poses for all life on this planet.
