It looks at the proposed Republican legislation for the Payroll tax cut, where the House Republicans have included a provision that forces work to begin again on the proposed 1,700-mile-long TransCanada Corp.'s $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline. The “dirty” secret about the Keystone XL pipeline’s oil sands hydrocarbons, which no amount of K Street PR can spin away, is that the oil has a higher carbon content than that from traditional fossil fuels, anywhere from 8 to 14 percent more, depending on which scientific report you read. Accordingly, the EU has already banned their import, much to Ottawa’s annoyance. Much to the consternation of Transcanada and the pipeline’s Republican boosters in Washington, environmental groups in such stalwart Republican states as Nebraska went up in arms over the Keystone XL proposal, fearing that a leak from the underground pipeline would irrevocably pollute the Ogalla Aquifer, source of much of the Great Plains' agricultural water. This is a gesture of cynicism unusual even for Washington.

Check out these photos taken of the Fukushima plant by a drone aircraft. Look carefully at the third floor of unit 3 in the 2nd and 5th shots. you can tell where the 3rd floor was by the one standing exterior wall... top floor was the 4th. What is left of the top two floors? anything? here is the link: http://cryptome.org/eyeball/daiichi-npp/daiichi-photos.htm OK, now have a look at this cutaway diagram of the reactor buildings: http://my.firedoglake.com/kirkmurphy/tag/fukushima/ (click on diagram to enlarge) the spent fuel pool is in the corner of the building on the third floor to the right of the top of the reactor itself, below the yellow beam, which is below the large orange girders. OK,, now go back to the aerial photos. does it look to you like the spent fuel pool is still there? It gets even worse...look at the diagram again. see how the top of the reactor sticks up above the floor level of the third floor? In fact, you can see clearly in the diagram that the top of the primary containment vessel surrounding the reactor itself was flush with the floor level of the fourth floor, right? Look at the fifth photo again... if you look at the upper right hand corner of the building where the skeleton of the wall still stands, you can see clearly where the top (4th) floor and the 3rd floor are (were). Trace the floor level of the third floor down the right side of the building, then around the bottom edge of the building front facing you in the photo. That is the floor level of the third floor, right? very plain to see. The top of the reactor and the primary containment vessel were in that space between the 3rd and 4th floors, and there is obviously only air (and a bit of roofing debris that you can see right through) there now.THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE PRIMARY CONTAINMENT VESSEL OF UNIT 3 IS GONE! If the top of the primary containment vessel of the reactor blew, this means that the reactor core itself was where the hydrogen explosion occurred, and that it blasted the core AND the spent fuel well up into the atmosphere. video here: http://boingboing.net/2011/03/13/explostion-at-fukush.html This is one hell of a dirty bomb, wouldn't you say? Remember, unit 3 was the one using MOX fuel, which contains plutonium in the mix....this is an extremely potent (and extremely long-lived) carcinogen when ingested even in microscopic quantities. The amount or radiation in the core and spent fuel pool of unit 3 alone is waaaay beyond the amount that officials are owning up to from the releases at multiple sources from the 6 whole complex. This one explosion, without all the other leaks into the ocean, etc, released a volume of radiation that dwarfs Chernobyl. Of course, there are many people who are completely aware of all of this, and have been since the day it happened. This obviously includes many TEPCO officials, members of the Japanese government, the NRC, members of the American government, and many other of their counterparts from various nuclear agencies and governments. Is this not irrefutable proof of a massive conspiracy to cover up the full extent and severity of this disaster?
