fukushima

Two years after Fukushima, there are dozens of nuclear plants just like it operating in the U.S. But President Obama and too many members of Congress are still touting nuclear as 'safe' and 'clean'. It's not - it's a disaster waiting to happen that could impact up to 50 Million Americans.

Over 19,000 were reported missing or dead from that one fateful day alone, yet the true number of lives lost from exposure to radiation, still remains to be seen.
